Franzén Park, Public park in Pokkinen, Finland.
Franzén Park contains structured flower beds, walkways, and grassy areas surrounding a central statue in downtown Oulu.
The area transformed from a church market into a French formal garden during the 1880s after the installation of Frans Mikael Franzén's statue.
Students maintain a yearly tradition of placing graduation caps on the statue of Frans Mikael Franzén, a Finnish poet and priest.
The park offers benches, maintained pathways, and green spaces within walking distance of numerous urban facilities in central Oulu.
The statue at the center of the park watches over citizens throughout the changing seasons of the Finnish calendar year.
