The new summer park was created as a trial area based on residents' wishes for the upcoming renovation of Töölönlahti Park. If I understand correctly, the area is temporary and it has realized wishes and ideas from Helsinki residents: meadows, seating areas, a water play area, beach volleyball courts, and more nature in the heart of Helsinki. For years, the area has mainly had sparse grass and been full of geese, so this is definitely a huge improvement and leaves hope for an even better Töölönlahti Park. The park has fenced areas in many places, intended to keep geese away from the renovated park area.</p> https://www.pientenhelsinki.fi/en/leikkipuisto-seppa/ Sat, 10 Aug 2024 13:04:50 +0200 https://www.pientenhelsinki.fi/en/leikkipuisto-seppa/ <p><em>What is Helsinki's best playground?

Located in the shadow of Agricola Church's tall tower, the playground is an excellent addition to the play facilities in the central area. And how wonderful that the renovation preserved the playground's old and beautiful trees!</p>
