Oerliker Park

The MFO-Park (2002), the Louis-Häfliger-Park (2003) and the Wahlenpark (2005) were built close-by, each of which are matched to local needs as district- and neighbourhood-parks, as well as playgrounds.

Approximately 1,000 young ash, birch, cherry and paulownia trees, and other 3- to 4-metre high species were planted on a grid of 4x4 meters, forming a walkable hall with a clearing in its centre.

It evokes memories of the high chimneys in the former industrial area and represents the old desire for views and distance.

[3] In addition to this tower and the pavilion used for events, the wooden deck also creates a large open space.

Because the full spatial limits would still be lacking for an unknown time, the park is designed as a tree body, not a hollow mould.
