Streets in the western part of Meri-Rastila and Haruspuisto park

Planning is under way for the renovation of streets and the Haruspuisto park in Meri-Rastila. The plans concern twelve streets, two squares, the Haruspuisto park and the surroundings of the metro station. The renovation of the streets and the park is related to the urban renewal of Meri-Rastila and the infill construction planned for the area. The aim is to make Meri-Rastila more attractive.

In the streets of the western part of Meri-Rastila, new municipal infrastructure will be built for new buildings. The area will have more vegetation, and the streets will be made more attractive by renovating lighting, surface materials and fixtures in the street areas.

The Haruspuisto park will also be renovated. The park’s facilities will be developed, paying attention to the needs of users of different ages, especially children and young people. While Haruspuisto will include an extensive area with diverse facilities, a large part of the park will remain a natural and forested area.

According to the preliminary schedule, the goal is that the construction of the streets could begin in the winter of 2025. According to preliminary estimates, the renovation of Haruspuisto could begin in 2025.
