Lenin Park, Urban park in Alppiharju, Helsinki, Finland.
This urban park in the Alppiharju district features walking paths winding through native trees and open grass areas. The layout provides shade, sunlight, and green spaces where people can move about or sit outdoors.
Landscape architect Maj-Lis Rosenbröijer designed this green space in 1961 during Helsinki's effort to build more public parks for its residents. The project reflected the city's commitment to creating outdoor recreation areas.
The name reflects a historical period when Soviet connections influenced Finnish cities. Walking through the green spaces, visitors encounter a landscape that carries these cross-border ties in its very identity.
The park remains accessible year-round and sits near bus and tram stops for easy transit access. Visitors can explore the grounds on foot without difficulty.
The designer chose native plant species intentionally rather than imported varieties for the landscape. This decision reflects a philosophy of connecting the park to Finland's natural heritage.
