Residents' parks
We recommend visiting our residents’ parks this summer. They offer a variety of fun summer activities for free. This summer, you get to try a range of activities from crafts and music to art workshops and obstacle courses. The parks will also organise water games, hobbyhorse competitions, toy and clothes swaps, and theatre performances. The parks’ boardgames and outdoor games and toys will be available for visitors to use. Almost all residents’ parks will be open until Midsummer. The following residents’ parks will be open all summer, also in July: Latokaski, Matinkylä, Suvela, Tapiola and Viherkallio. The parks are open Monday–Friday 8:00–16:00, but you can also play in the yard areas outside these hours. In July a free hot meal will be provided to all customers of residents’ parks who are under 16 years of age. The summer programme varies from park to park. Check out each park’s programme on its webpage. The parks also share information about their summer activities on social media.
