Kirsikkapuisto

Kirsikkapuisto (Finnish: [ˈkirsikːɑˌpui̯sto]; English: Cherry Tree Park, Swedish: Körsbärsträdsparken) opened in 2007[1] in the Roihuvuori district of Helsinki, and is part of the Roihuvuori green area.

[2] The southern area has a fenced off dog park.

The city department that maintains these statues has now closed and the statues are being removed as they deteriorate.

[4] There are about 150 Cherry trees in the park that were planted following sponsorship from the Japanese community in Helsinki.

[5] In the Spring the Japanese festival of Hanami is celebrated when the trees blossom.
