Tokoinranta, Waterfront park in Kallio, Helsinki, Finland.

Tokoinranta is a waterfront park along Eläintarhanlahti bay with stone-reinforced embankments and pedestrian paths connecting Hakaniemi to the Linnunlaulu villa district. The park features a children's playground and multiple walking routes along the water's edge.

The park was built in phases on reclaimed land and received its name in 1968 to honor Oskari Tokoi, a prominent Finnish political leader. The waterfront's transformation through landfill was part of early modern Helsinki's development in the 20th century.

The bronze sculpture 'Soihtu - The Torch' in the eastern section honors Miina Sillanpää near the Helsinki City Theatre. Today it serves as a notable landmark that helps visitors navigate the park.

The park is easy to reach on foot and features wide paths suitable for different mobility levels. In late summer, the area hosts additional event spaces for the Helsinki Festival.

The Hakaniemi Boat Club has maintained its presence at Tokoinranta since 1966, operating one of the two piers along the waterfront. The club's sailing traditions add a quiet maritime history to the location.
