The playground is extremely versatile: you'll find something to do and experience from infants to teenagers. The old playground buildings add to the atmosphere of the place. Indoor facilities and, for example, a microwave for warming up snacks are available when playground staff are on duty. <p>During the summer, Linnunrata&rsquo;s lower yard has a shallow wading pool that gets deeper in the middle, so it&rsquo;s not the best swimming spot for the littlest ones.</p>
