Kirkkopuisto, Central park with stone church in Jyväskylä, Finland

The park features wide grassy areas surrounding the Jyväskylä City Church, with paved pathways connecting different sections of the green space.

The area functioned as the primary marketplace of Jyväskylä from the 1830s until the 1930s, marking a century of commercial importance for the city.

The park contains several artistic monuments, including sculptures like Night by Kain Tapper and a statue of Young Minna Canth by Pauli Koskinen.

Visitors can access the Jyväskylä City Church within the park from Wednesday to Friday between 11:00 AM and 2:00 PM or during religious services.

The park grounds host the first stone church ever constructed in Central Finland, which was built in 1880 in the center of the former market square.
