The sports complex Sihlhölzli located in the district of Wiedikon in Zurich between the Sihl and Manessestrasse. It was built as a municipal sports facility, which it still serves today. There are two listed buildings on the site that were built by the construction company Heinrich Hatt-Haller. The facility was planned around 1927/28 and includes an outdoor athletics facility and a gym . These are framed by avenues of trees. There is also a music pavilion and a toilet facility with a kiosk. The entire facility is fenced in and set up like a park.
