Kaakinmaa is a district in Tampere, Finland, located in the city center. It includes the area south of Pyynikki Church Park between the Hämeenpuisto park and the Mariankatu street. To the south, the area extends to Eteläpuisto on the shores of Lake Pyhäjärvi. The neighboring parts of the city are Nalkala in the east, Amuri in the north and Pyynikki and Pyynikinrinne in the west.
