Hupisaaret Islands
Hupisaaret Islands form one of Oulu’s most enchanting urban green areas, a network of small, tree‑covered islands connected by white wooden bridges and surrounded by gently flowing streams. Located just north of the city centre, the parkland has been a favourite local retreat since the late 1800s, offering winding paths, open lawns, flower gardens and quiet corners ideal for picnics or leisurely walks. The islands are home to cultural landmarks such as the Hupisaari Open‑Air Theatre and the Oulu Art Museum, adding artistic life to the natural setting. In summer, the area is filled with light, birdsong and the scent of blooming gardens, while winter transforms it into a serene snowy landscape. With its blend of nature, history and calm atmosphere, Hupisaaret remains one of Oulu’s most beloved places to unwind and explore.
Oulu FinlandHupisaaret Islands are a city‑park area located in the Myllytulli district of Oulu, just outside the city centre, in the delta of the Oulu River where the river splits into several small channels around the islands.
