Kirsikkapuisto (English:
Cherry Tree Park, ) opened in 2007 in the
Roihuvuori district of
Helsinki, and is part of the Roihuvuori green area. The southern area has a fenced off
dog park. In the dog park are wooden statues of dogs and a tree with a cat in it. The city department that maintains these statues has now closed and the statues are being removed as they deteriorate. There are about 150 Cherry trees in the park that were planted following sponsorship from the Japanese community in Helsinki. In the Spring the Japanese festival of
Hanami is celebrated when the trees blossom.
