Neighbourhood sports areas and skate parks

The Kaupunginlampi shipping container gym was opened to the public on Wednesday 21 April 2021. Over the summer and spring of 2022, the container will serve fitness enthusiasts around the clock! 

The multi-purpose sports ground was completed in the summer of 2019 and has been in active use every summer since. The area has pickleball, beach volleyball, tennis and basketball courts, a floorball rink and a skate park, as well as gym equipment and a gymnastics apparatus for bodyweight workouts. In the summer, the shipping container opens its doors so that people can use the free weights and power cage inside.

Designed to provide an outdoor stair workout, the 122 steps of these 60-metre-long fitness flights were built by the Kalkkisilta boat ramp in the summer of 2018. You can find the stairs on the slope between Kalkkisilta and Karolineburg (at Kalkkisillantie). 

At the bottom of the stairs, there are kettlebells of various weights.
