Töölö Rowing Stadium, Rowing stadium in Taka-Töölö, Finland

The Töölö Rowing Stadium sits along the waterfront, featuring specific lanes for competitive rowing and canoeing events near the Olympic Stadium complex.

Built in 1939 by architect Hilding Ekelund, the stadium was initially planned for the 1940 Summer Olympics but served in the 1952 Helsinki Olympics instead.

Local athletes regularly train at the stadium's waters, maintaining Finland's strong connection to water sports and competitive rowing traditions.

Located at Merikannontie 4 in Helsinki, the stadium functions as both a sports facility and a summer restaurant with views across the water.

The International Rowing Federation rejected the stadium for Olympic rowing due to sea breezes, leading to its use primarily for canoeing competitions.
