Fellman Park was built on the former lands of Fellman Manor in the 1950s. It covers an area of five hectares. The major part is as a lawn. There is a pond with fountains in the middle of the park. The park is also called Fellman Blood Field. As the Finnish Civil War reached its end in 1918 the field was kept as a prison camp for the Red Guard. 20000 male prisoners and thousands of women and children were held captive. In 1978, sixty years after the end of the Civil War, the Red Captive monument by sculptor Erkki Kannasto was erected in the park.

Fellman Park (Fellmaninpuisto or Fellmanninpuisto in Finnish) is a historical park in the city center of Lahti. You find some interesting statues and very beautiful, old trees there. The total area is five hectares. This is a very nice place to walk and relax.
