• Shallow wading pool right by the playground, so bring a towel and spare clothes on warm days
• Accessible toilet on site, listed by the city among the park's facilities
• Café-restaurant in the park inside the Quartierzentrum Aussersihl, a few steps from the playground

Locals call it the Bäcki: a 1.4-hectare neighborhood park near Langstrasse, framed by Stauffacherstrasse, Feldstrasse and Hohlstrasse. Kids head for the playground and the shallow wading pool, where splashing has been allowed since the 1939 redesign.

The Quartierzentrum Aussersihl community center stands in the park, with the Restaurant Bäckeranlage inside. On summer days the lawns fill with young families from the surrounding streets.
