• A 20-board nature trail runs along the paths, explaining the park's birds, amphibians, bees and dragonflies
• Sand and boulder playground by the lake, built with hiding spots for small kids, and fire pits along the shore
• A new eastern pond opened in May 2026, with two spots on the Spitalerbach stream where kids can reach the water

Irchelpark is a naturalistic park of about 32 hectares wrapped around the University of Zurich's Irchel campus. Paths loop past a lake with fish, ducks and herons, two streams, wildflower meadows and Monte Diggelmann, a small viewpoint hill.

Kids can play in the sand and boulder playground by the lake and follow the Irchel Nature Trail, whose 20 boards cover birds, frogs, bees and dragonflies.
