When arriving by car, it's worth heading straight to Kuninkaantammi Circle, where you can find some street parking (please note the area parking restrictions and only park in designated P spots). From Kuninkaantammi Circle it's a short walk to Vennyn Park.

At the beginning of 2021, a brand new and unique playground by Helsinki's standards opened next to Vennyn Park in the new Kuninkaantammi residential area, with climbing as the main feature. Vennyn Park has several different climbing routes with a very unusual design. In addition to climbing, Vennyn Park also has an area suitable for younger children and, judging by the structures, a water play area during the summer months. A special feature of the playground is an outdoor grilling area with picnic tables, so you can also visit here for a picnic with your own food. This park can also be recommended for older children. The overall setup is quite successful and different: we'd like to see more of these in Helsinki!

Vennyn Park is located on the Vantaa border in Kuninkaantammi and trunk line number 560 runs near the park. The playground itself is complete, but the neighboring park area was quite unfinished at least in spring 2021. The playground is not fenced.
