This is how we manage the parks in Helsinki
We manage the parks according to a management classification system. In practice, this means that the more central a park is and the more people use it, the more often it is maintained and the more time is spent on its upkeep. The maintenance class also depends on the park’s vegetation, cultural and historical values and the activities available in the park. For example, a playground requires more careful maintenance than a lawn area.

Restoration of parks
We also carry out more extensive repairs of parks each year, depending on how much money has been earmarked in the city budget for park renovations. When selecting the parks for renovation, the most important criteria are the safety and equitable development of the city.

Barbecuing in parks
You can barbecue in the city’s parks as long as you take care that it does not cause damage or danger. Check out the rules related to barbecuing.
