Traveler reviews
TF
★★★★★4 years agoThe entire limmat river is beautiful and makes for a pleasant walk or jog. The Wipkingerpark has some terrace steps that you can just sit on and chill. Even saw people bringing their home cooked dinner and eating there. A very family friendly place with playground and a cute little basketball court.
Exotic Atom
★★★★★5 years agoUsually busy over the weekends, playground for kids, wide area for picnic, on the side of Limatt. During the lunch time couple of tables makes it perfect place to relax and catch 5 minute break.
