Sapokka, Water garden in Kotka, Finland.

The park features numerous waterways including small brooks, ponds, and a 20-meter waterfall that creates a natural water circulation system throughout the grounds.

The transformation of this former sea bay into a modern park began in 1990 under the direction of architect Heikki Laaksonen.

The park incorporates Finnish stone elements in its design, with a dedicated area displaying various rock types found across the country.

Visitors can access multiple walking paths, seating areas, and observation points while enjoying the seasonal flower displays from spring through autumn.

The park received recognition as Finland's Best National Stone Structure in 1996 and Environmental Structure of the Year in 1994.
