Mannerheim Park

Mannerheim Park.

The Mannerheim Park is a small urban park in Vanhatulli district of Oulu, Finland. With a fountain made from rough granite blocks and plenty of benches, the park is a favourite hangout for many. The park is adjacent to the Kela building, and features a grill kiosk and a children's play area with rides and swings.

The park was named after Marshal Mannerheim, the commander-in-chief of Finnish defense forces, in honour of his 75th birthday in 1942.^[1]
