About
Nylanderin puisto is a small park in Helsinki located near the Hämeentie bridge, Hermannin rantatie and Hermannin skate park. The park continues towards Kumpula, north-east of Jyrängöntie.
A small stream, Kumpulanpuro, runs through the area and becomes a canal at the southern edge. In 2022–2024 the park changed significantly because of the Kalasatama–Pasila tram line construction. Tram route 13 now runs along Hermannin rantatie, and one stop was named Nylanderinpuisto.
