Kirsikkapuisto

The park features 152 pink cherry trees arranged along winding paths on a sunny hillside beneath the Roihuvuori water tower.

Local entrepreneur Norio Tomida initiated the park's creation in 2005, leading to the first 52 cherry trees being planted on World Environment Day in 2007.

The park hosts the northernmost Hanami festival, where Finnish and Japanese communities gather to celebrate cherry blossoms each spring.

Located at the intersection of Sahaajankatu and Abraham Wetterintie, the park includes wooden benches, picnic areas, and a commemorative plaque listing tree donors.

Each year, residents plant an additional cherry tree to honor the selected local citizen of the year, creating a living community tribute.
