Tykkimäki (translates to Cannon Hill in English) is an amusement park in Kouvola, Finland. It has 30 different rides, along with some restaurants and kiosks. A camping site and Lake Käyrälampi are located near Tykkimäki.

Many of Tykkimäki's rides are preowned rides bought from other parks, most often from Linnanmäki or Särkänniemi. The latest ride relocation happened in 2007, when Tykkimäki opened Kouvola-pyörä Ferris wheel, which had been at Linnanmäki over 40 years.
