Hupisaaret Islands Park
Hupisaarten kaupunginpuisto
A park of small islands at the Oulu River mouth, with streams, footbridges, greenhouses and a fish ladder, popular with locals for walks.
Hupisaari Park is made up of several small islands at the mouth of the Oulu River, linked by streams and small wooden footbridges. It has a 19th-century-style city park, a summer greenhouse and the Merikoski fish ladder, where you can watch salmon migrate. At the northern end is the Merikoski hydroelectric plant, built in the 1940s. The park is free and suits walking, picnics and cycling. The Tietomaa Science Centre, the Oulu Museum of Art and the Northern Ostrobothnia Museum are all nearby, so you can easily combine them in one visit.
