Irchelpark, Public park in Zürich, Switzerland

The 32-hectare Irchelpark features natural landscape elements with hills, meadows, a large artificial lake, streams, and walking paths throughout the grounds.

The park emerged from a 1962 University of Zürich initiative, with construction starting in 1973 and the complete park opening to the public in 1986.

Natural stone sculptures by Swiss artists, including Albert Cinelli's Sonnennadeln and Wolfgang Häckel's Sturm, are placed throughout the park's landscape.

The park contains multiple sports facilities, jogging trails, playgrounds, fire pits, seating areas, and connects directly to the University of Zürich campus.

Two sections of the park, divided by Winterthurerstrasse, connect through a wide granite staircase that serves as a natural bridge between the areas.
