The area around this park has lots of old buildings and cobblestone streets. When we were around there were so many people, both local and visitors relaxing in the park. One of the best views of Zurich also can be seen from here.
I was told that remains of a previous Roman town that was here centuaries ago can also be seen in parts of the park but unfortunately I didnt see any. There are supposedely Roman ruins under the entire area.
