The Sorsalampi pond in the middle of Sorsapuisto (Duck Park) is a natural pond formed by a spring. The area surrounding the pond was made into a park in the 1930's by planting a large variety of flora.
The park was renovated during the construction of Tampere Hall in 1989 - 1990, when the number of park fittings was increased and old plants were replaced. There is a playground in the park.
In summer there are - apart from wild ducks - different species of birds living on the shore of the pond. Swans, peacocks, and other rarer species spend the winter at the Hatanpää birdhouse looked after by the parks department.
