Improvements to Malminkartanonhuippu have been in the plans for a long time. The aim is to make the area into an attractive outdoor recreation area for residents and visitors from further away. We have planned a wide range of functions for the area, and our aim is to also retain and develop the existing functions in the area.
The plan proposes the construction of facilities such as the following along Naapuripellontie, next to the artificial turf field: a café and toilet facilities, a new outdoor exercise area for people of all ages, a parkour track, a multi-purpose field for street basketball and other activities, and stands next to the field. The plans preserve the existing fitness stairs and artificial turf field as they are. We have proposed interactive lighting for the fitness stairs to encourage people to be physically active.
We will develop the highest point of the hill and the observation platform to make them suitable for looking at views and observing sky phenomena in particular. We could add telescopes, signage and various seating areas to the platform. We also want the platform to be able to host various small-scale events, such as outdoor group exercise sessions, art workshops or similar events organised by associations.
For the southern slope of the hill, we have proposed a recreational grass area for picnics or an area for an open air cinema, for example. For the southwestern part of the area, we have proposed a dog park with an agility track.
We have taken the existing natural values into account in the placement of the functions. We will preserve the openness of the hilltop and open up further views from there. The plan is to preserve the routes as they are. We would increase the lighting and add places to sit along the routes. We intend to keep the hilltop moderately lit in order to facilitate observation of sky phenomena in the dark as well.
