Alppipuisto, Urban park in Alppila, Helsinki, Finland

Alppipuisto extends between Linnanmäki amusement park and railway tracks, featuring ponds with fountains, rocky landscapes, and winding pathways through varied terrain.

The park's development began in the 1850s when Henrik Borgström established the Töölö Park Company, transforming a rocky forest into a public recreational space.

The Finnish Worker's Summer Theatre operated from Vesilinnanmäki hill within the park, while Alppilava dance pavilion hosted social gatherings during the 1940s.

Multiple entrances connect the park to surrounding neighborhoods, with direct access from both Linnanmäki amusement park and the central railway station area.

The park maintains specific plant species adapted to climate change, including Kentucky yellowwood, Japanese wingnut, magnolias, and various types of azaleas.
