Töölönlahti Summer Park — Local services in Helsinki sub-region

A lovely little green spot tucked between city buildings. The flowers are just starting to bloom, and their bright reds, yellows, and purples really liven up the place. There was even a light floral scent in the air when I walked through—super calming with the breeze.

What I really liked is how well this bit of nature fits into the city around it. It’s not a big park, but it doesn’t need to be. It’s cozy, peaceful, and a nice break from the concrete.

I was there in the late afternoon, and the light was just right—soft and golden. Kids were playing, families were out enjoying the early summer warmth, and there was a nice hum of happy sounds in the background. It had a really relaxed vibe.

There are some easy paths to wander and a few benches if you just want to sit and take it all in. One of those spots you kind of stumble on and end up staying longer than planned.

Just a heads-up: in summer, it can get quite sunny and there aren’t many shady spots around. So bring water, sunscreen, an umbrella, sunglasses, a cap, or even an anti-UV jacket with a hood if you're planning to stay a while.

Definitely worth stopping by if you’re nearby and want a quiet moment outdoors. A good reminder that even in the middle of the city, there’s space to just...

Nice park area around the bay with SUP, kayak and boat rental, outdoor gym and kids playground area. Plenty of grass area to have a picnic at as well. Also park has an outdoor chess game area.

Lot of birds such and geese and ducks and rodents like mice and rats also...

Wonderful park which was quite boring and barren area before. The design and thought into the layout and planting is absolutely excellent. Hats off to the developers, and wonderful use of space...
