Hesperia Esplanade, Urban park and promenade near Töölönlahti bay, Finland
Hesperia Esplanade extends between Mannerheimintie and Taivallahti bay, featuring multiple sections with diverse plant species and recreational spaces.
The area transformed from an industrial zone with factories and private villas in the 1800s to become a public green space in the 1930s.
The park includes memorials to Finnish presidents Risto Ryti and Lauri Kristian Relander, installed during the 1990s to honor their legacy.
A 2.2-kilometer path circles the bay with complete wheelchair accessibility and connects to multiple recreational facilities including children's playgrounds.
The horse chestnut tree alley within the esplanade stands as the largest collection of its kind in Finland and northern Europe.
