The title of “oldest park in Helsinki” belongs to Kaisaniemi Park. Founded in the early 1800s, this park is definitely way older than any living person on earth right now!

While Kaisaniemi Park is a senior citizen, it definitely does not resemble on in spirit. With gorgeous statues peppered all around the lush greenery, there is so much to see. Your eyes are sure to dart from place to place, hoping to take in the many things here. A famous grave can be found here, the Freemason’s grave. Honouring an outstanding artillery officer – Fredrik Granatenhjelm, he moved on to become a philanthropist, building on his already, great reputation. History enthusiasts are sure to be intrigued by this charming man’s tale. Now, why stop there? Kaisaniemi Park has far greater things in store. A soccer pitch, tennis court, the oldest greenhouse in Helsinki and even a botanical garden! At times, major events such as concerts and festivals are even held here! It seems there is no stopping this senior citizen as he continues to impress and wow people across different generations. A park that is perfect for leisurely days, or perhaps for a game or two of sports, this is the place to be.
