I go offen to the swimming pool (2 - 3 times a week)…read more As I live in the city (almost in the city :) ) The Hallenbad City is very convenient. The lanes are 50 meter long ( what I prefer instead of 25 m). It is very well renovated. But a bit disappointed that it is overwhelming WOOOWW-architecture. And it took very long to renovate it... Appart from that I only gave 3 stars because it has limited lanes and it is always crowded. I tried 9:00, 10:00, 12:00, 14:00. I don't even dare to go in the evening after work ;) As all swimmingpools in Switzerland it is 1 big fitting room. So don't be to ashamed! Worth a visit, but don't forget 5 sfr for the lockers (they can not give you a coin). PS: Not really made for kids.

Finally the city pool is open! Dont go during the week at 18 o' clock, really full!…read more Better durig lunch, like from 12 to 13. Still a lot of people, but you can swim at least!

I don't come that often here because this one is really difficult for me to commute to. If I would…read morelive in Oerlikon I think I would only go to this one. It has 50 m lanes and really enough lanes. It get crowded at noon and afterwork. During day it is fine (still a lot of people) - you have enough space to swim. It also has a sauna but I never checked it out. Tip: 5 Sfr locker !

One of my favorite places to swim. They have for example crawl courses and the swiss championship…read moreis on 10th of March 2016 also in Oerlikon. There is a big time clock, where you plus / minus see, how long you had for one lenght or 500metres or 1km or 2km. However which distance you like to swim. There is a restaurant too and the bus station is directly in front of the swim area indoor and outdoor. check it out ...

located near tram station 14 and the Voliere Seebach is there too. Price for entrance is 9chf. It…read moreis a nice Place to swim or to chill. They have grill stations to use for free with desks to sit, two table tennis stations and a volleyball field at the other side of the lido. There is place to find shadow and they serve menus in the restaurant and they have a Kiosk too. The facility is in good shape. I like this place and the food is good. If you do not have big appetite, you can buy a 1/2 menu. It was big enough for me. Place to park your car could be a little bit difficult.

I am a big fan of Oberer Letten. You can find me almost daily here when the sun is shinning…read more Oberer Letten as 2 sides where you can hang out. The right side (with your back towards the city) is the most hip place. Here you have a nice bar with sometimes night events. You find a more young audience. You can play Volleyball and here are a lot of kids also skating. The food is good. You have to try for sure the burgers. The left side of the river you also have a bar. and a private section only for women to bath. at this side you also have the life guards, dressing rooms and showers. There are small lockers and bigger ones. The bar lost a bit of his charms after the renovation last year. They are slow to prepare the food (last time I had to wait 20 minutes for french fries - it was a weekday, so not too much people around). Lets hope that this year they improved there services :) If you have something to inflate, there is a pump close to the lockers. It is very useful if you have a boat to inflate :) This is for me a very nice place in Kreis 5 - it is very local, you don't have the tourists from the lake and you can swim, drink and eat !

I'm a big fan of Oberer Letten because it's in a great location and there's a lot of stuff…read more They have volleyball court, a skate court, a nice bar/restaurant area, and a big walkway that leads further west. I've only been on the one side (the right side, with your back towards the city, thanks Sebastien). I loved the little restaurant because it has a nice shaded patio and across the walkway you can sit closer to the water and they provide quite a bit of seating. The place has a pretty hip and alternative feel, and I always dig that because it reminds me of Austin! The graffiti is even pretty. The beer prices were good, and the focaccia bread was delicious and pretty big. Personally, I'm not a big fan of sunbathing here. It's so packed and there isn't any grass! For me, it's not so relaxing, but I'd come with friends for having some fun. Otherwise, I prefer Rentenwiese, less people, quite, and relaxing.
