Gustav-Ammann-Park

The Gustav-Ammann-Park is a public park in Oerlikon, Zurich on the former premises of Oerlikon-Bührle and covers 32,291 sq ft (3,000 m2).

The park is named after its designer Gustav Ammann (1886–1955), a Swiss landscape architect who worked in the modernist style.

[1] In 1942, a «welfare building» and accompanying park were built on the site of the armaments factory Werkzeugmaschinenfabrik Oerlikon, Bührle & Co. for their staff.

With the conversion of parts of the factory area, the former welfare garden was opened to the public and renamed as the Gustav-Ammann Park.

The design of the park includes many characteristic features of a residential garden and, together with the building, has been protected since 1996.
