Laurinniityntie 14, Lassila, Helsinki

Laurinniitty Playground in Lassila, North Helsinki, underwent a complete outdoor renovation and reopened to children in 2020. The castle-themed play equipment, consisting mainly of wooden structures from Kompan company, is wonderful and inspires parents to play along too. Laurinniitty is a spacious play area, only partially fenced, and allows for different play zones grouped by age and skill level. The specialty of Laurinniitty is, in addition to the large climbing castle, a giant swing (adults can fit too!), smaller play castles, and a functional sandbox. Next to the park you'll find a separate, smaller and fenced playground that is used by the neighboring kindergarten on weekdays. The area is green and during summer heat, you'll find shaded play spots here as well.
You should definitely take a trip to Laurinniitty: the park has plenty to offer for both smaller and older children.
