Renovated Töölönlahti Summer Park opens. The most notable changes in the area are the new beach volleyball court and the beach area, which are open from Wednesday, 17 July. On Thursday, 18 July, a functional playground and a barbeque spot will also be opened for citizens to use.
New park furniture, such as swings, benches and sunchairs, have been installed in the north side of the park. New plants have been added to improve comfort in the park. The lawns of the park have been transformed into an impressive field of flowers, and new playground, game and hang-out spots have been installed in the middle part of the park.
Phase 1 of the park renovation nearly ready – the second phase commences in October
The areas of the park that opened in July are part of the first stage of the construction works. The first phase includes a dance and performance stage, which is intended to be completed by the end of July. Additionally, the final furniture installations will also be completed during the next few weeks.
The second phase of the construction works will start in October when more all-year-round vegetation, e.g. trees and bulbous plants are planted in the park. Also, toilet facilities and electricity point for a kiosk will be installed and lighting works continued in the second phase of the works.
Diverse summer activity and recreation area
Planning for the Töölönlahti Park began in 2023 and these short-term measures are a part of our summer park trial. Long-term plans for the park will be prepared during autumn 2024. The City’s goal is for the park to be a diverse activity and recreation area in summer, with things to do for people of all ages.
