Holiday activities

Residents' parks

Espoo features residents’ parks, which provide fun and free activities for children and families around the city during the autumn break. At these parks, children can play, run around, do handicrafts, meet friends and join various communal autumn break events. Every park’s programme is different: events may include arts and crafts sessions, physical activity courses, live music, story sessions, outdoor games, and autumnal theme days. At many parks, the highlights of the autumn break may include special visits and shared events. As an example, Mobile Library Välkky brings books and fun activities for families with children to the residents’ park in Järvenperä on 14 October from 10 to 11:30. Furthermore, the parks provide opportunities to paint, be active, meet new friends, and spend a relaxed day off in a safe environment. The residents’ parks activities are open to all and free of charge, with no need to register in advance. Children under school age must bring their adult to participate in the activities. The parks are an excellent place to spend the autumn break without travelling, to meet other families and to enjoy autumn together.
