Rieterpark, City park on a hillside in Zurich, Switzerland
The Rieterpark extends over 70,000 square meters on a former glacial moraine, featuring three villas and numerous old beech trees throughout the grounds.
The park originated in 1855 when German merchant Otto Wesendonck commissioned architect Leonhard Zeugheer for the villa and Theodor Froebel for the garden design.
The Museum Rietberg, located within the park's villas, holds Switzerland's only art collection dedicated to non-European cultures from Asia, Africa, America, and Oceania.
Visitors can rent picnic baskets with blankets from the Museum Rietberg café and find two playgrounds for children across the park grounds.
The park served as residence to composer Richard Wagner from 1849 to 1858, where he worked on his opera Tristan und Isolde.
