Josefwiese

Josefwiese is a public park in Zürich-West, beside the Im Viadukt market and shopping area. Its broad lawn gives you room for a picnic, a walk or a game, while the playground and splash fountains draw families with children. You can also find facilities for volleyball, pétanque, table tennis and barbecuing. Shady trees provide a place to rest, and Josef Café is another option for a break. The park is lively and can be noisy, especially when groups gather.

Play and relax outdoors

Josefwiese has a large grassy area with a walking path around it. Children can use the playground, dig in the sand and play among the water sprays and fountains. The park also has space for ball games and facilities for volleyball, pétanque and table tennis.

On warm days, the lawns suit picnics and sunbathing. Trees provide shaded places to sit, and public barbecue facilities let you cook outdoors. Bring food for a picnic or barbecue; the nearby Im Viadukt area has cafés, a bakery and food stalls.

A lively park beside Im Viadukt

The park sits in Zürich-West next to the Im Viadukt market and shopping area, so it is easy to combine outdoor time with a walk around the nearby shops. Families, groups celebrating together and people playing games share the space. That gives Josefwiese a social feel, but it can also be noisy when the park is busy.

Seasonal activities such as open-air concerts and outdoor cinema screenings may take place in the park. If you would prefer a quieter visit, consider going on a weekday.
