Koskipuisto

The coast was designated as a park already in the first zoning plan of Kyttälä made by architect F. L. Calonius in 1886.

The park reached as far as south of Hämeenkatu, but the construction of the Hatanpään valtatie road and the new Hämeensilta bridge significantly contracted its southern part.

[2]: 39–42 In the 1930s Koskipuisto was renovated and expanded, when the new Keskiputous power plant was built on Tammerkoski and the riverbed was narrowed.

[1]: 13–16 In 1971 the sculpture Virvatulet (meaning "wills-o'-the-wisp") by sculptor Aimo Tukiainen, dedicated to Finnish soldiers, was unveiled at the park.

[2]: 39–42  The park had previously hosted Yrjö Liipola's 1947 sculpture Paimenpoika ("the shepherd"), which was now moved to Verkatehtaanpuisto.

There are many old trees in Koskipuisto. At the right the grey-leaved white willows planted in the early 20th century, the oldest trees in the park, can be seen. [ 1 ] : 21, 47
