Louis-Häfliger-Park, Urban park in Oerlikon district, Zürich, Switzerland.
Louis-Häfliger-Park covers approximately 5,000 square meters in Zürich's Oerlikon district, featuring eight grass pyramids, toddler play areas, a blue sports pitch, and a wooden performance stage.
The park opened in 2003 after ten months of construction beginning in 2002, built on former industrial land that previously housed ammunition storage facilities with characteristic funnels.
Named after Louis Häfliger, a Swiss Red Cross worker who saved nearly 40,000 inmates from Mauthausen concentration camp during World War II, the park symbolizes resilience and remembrance.
The park remains open year-round without charge and connects easily via multiple tram and bus lines serving the Zürich-Oerlikon area, offering accessible pathways suitable for strollers.
The park design draws inspiration from patchwork quilts, with retention basins that reflect water during heavy rain due to high groundwater levels just 80 centimeters below ground.
