Kuba park, Public park along Akerselva in Grünerløkka, Norway

The park extends on both sides of the Akerselva River, featuring a circular asphalt plaza where a large cylindrical gas container once stood.

The area was initially planned for residential buildings but remained undeveloped following the Kristiania financial crisis of 1898, becoming a park in 1928.

The park includes a pavilion that hosts Norway's National Day celebrations on May 17th, political discussions, film screenings, concerts, and sports activities.

The location connects to Vulkan multipurpose hall and Olaf Ryes square, with public transportation access detailed on ruter.no.

The name Kuba originated during the Spanish-American War of 1898, when several Norwegian locations received Cuban-inspired nicknames due to social unrest.
