Kohmanpuisto sheep pasture

Kohmanpuisto is an approximately 1.5 hectare grassland area. The area around Tohloppijärvi lake is the most diverse and valuable green space in West Tampere and is a very popular outdoor recreation area for residents. The pasture area of Kohmanpuisto is part of an old cultural landscape with a long history of farming in the area. A management plan has been drawn up for Kohmanpuisto pasture and its management.

In the summer of 2025, six sheep from the Huittu farm in Sastamala will graze in Kohmanpuisto. The Finnsheep is an indigenous Finnish breed whose early ancestors arrived in Finland almost 4000 years ago. The Finnsheep is a hornless, solid-coloured breed with short tails. The most common colour is white, but there are also black, brown and, more rarely, grey individuals. Occasionally, they may have a small woolly bangs.

Location is between Mediapolis and the outdoor trail around Tohloppijärvi lake.
