Karhupuisto (Swedish: Björnparken, lit. Bear Park) is a triangular park in the Kallio district of Helsinki, Finland. It is located next to Kallio Library and Kallio Church.
The park got its name from the 1931 red granite statue Mesikämmen muurahaispesällä (The Bear on the Anthill) from the sculptor Jussi Mäntynen, which depicts a bear stooping on top of an anthill.[1]
