Central Park (Finnish: Helsingin keskuspuisto, Swedish: Helsingfors centralpark) is a park in Helsinki, Finland.[1] It has an area of 10 square kilometres (4 sq mi). The park stretches 10 kilometres (6 mi) from Töölönlahti Bay in the south to the border of Helsinki and Vantaa in the north.[1]

The park is not a gardened one but instead consists mostly of lightly managed woodland crisscrossed by gravel paths.

The Paloheinä forest, a northern extension of the park, is Helsinki's main center for outdoor activities.[2]
