Completion Feasibility Study Airfield Park in Dübendorf

29.10.24

The feasibility study for the airfield park in Dübendorf, on the outskirts of Zurich, was completed this summer. Project development can therefore begin in 2025. The proposed airfield park covers 11 hectares and forms the largest continuous open space on the site of the military airfield.

The history and context of the reed landscape define the character of the planned airfield park. Prior to its drainage in 1910, it was an extensive reed with ponds, overgrown bushes and clusters of oak trees. As a landscape park, it refers to the local reeds, extensive meadows and open views to the Säntis. The VOGT masterplan for the airfield park envisions, after its exclusive use as an airfield, large areas of the meadow landscape will become accessible for visitors to explore and enjoy.

The airfield park incorporates the history of aviation and at the same time makes a valuable contribution to maintaining biodiversity. Existing valuable habitats are to be preserved, species-poor areas ecologically enhanced through targeted measures and new habitats created.
