Hesperia Park, Public park in Etu-Töölö, Finland
Hesperia Park extends along the western shore of Töölönlahti bay between Finlandia Hall and the Finnish National Opera, featuring diverse tree species and walking paths.
The park area contained the largest agricultural fields of Töölö village until the 1800s, when it transformed into a villa district with an outdoor restaurant.
The park displays notable artworks including the Larin Paraske statue from 1949 and the Opera Ophidia serpentine sculpture made of steel and rocks.
A 2.2-kilometer recreational path circles the bay with dedicated lanes for pedestrians and cyclists, offering complete wheelchair accessibility throughout the route.
The name originates from ancient Greek mythology, where Hesperia referred to western lands and the Hesperides nymphs who maintained a garden of golden apples.
