Oerliker Park, Modern urban park in Oerlikon, Switzerland
Oerliker Park is a large green space in the Oerlikon district with multiple areas connected by pathways, seating, and play zones. The site features a wooden deck, red pavilion, observation tower, and fountain spread throughout the grounds.
The park was created in 2001 as part of a city development project that transformed former industrial land into public green space. This marked the start of a major redesign of the neighborhood with several new parks.
The park takes its name from the Oerlikon neighborhood and reflects how a former industrial area has become a gathering place for the community. Visitors use the space for leisure and social activities today.
The park is easy to reach and offers various facilities like barbecue areas, benches, and lounge chairs scattered throughout. A visit is best in dry weather when all paths are clear and easy to explore.
The observation platform allows visitors to look out above the tree canopy and gain an unexpected perspective on the neighborhood. This vertical vantage point connects the park's green surroundings with views of the city beyond.
