Snellman Park, Local heritage site and park in Vahtivuori, Finland.
The park extends over 1.4 hectares between Kauppakatu and Minna Canthin katu streets, next to Kuopio Cathedral in the city center.
Before its transformation into a park, this location served as Kuopio's first main market square, known as Kustaantori or Suurtori until the 1850s.
The centerpiece of the park features a bronze bust of Johan Vilhelm Snellman, installed in 1886 to honor the Finnish philosopher and statesman.
The park underwent renovations in 2018-2019, which included the removal of older trees to create space for new seedlings and improve light conditions.
As part of the Kuopio National City Park established in 2017, this green space represents the oldest public park in the entire city.
