During the week, the playgrounds offer excursions, outdoor activities, sports, games, play and more. There are also activities for small children, including singing sessions and colour play. There are activities for babies as well. The playgrounds are open on weekdays from 9.00 to 16.00.

The activities are organised in Finnish and are free of charge. Parents have the opportunity to meet other families with children, and children can find playmates. You can warm your own lunch at the playground and make coffee or tea.


Playground instructors are there for the children, and they are responsible for creating a safe environment, ensuring that everyone gets to play in peace, equipment is safe to play with and schoolchildren are looked after according to the situation at hand.
