Niinisalo garrison, Military garrison in Kankaanpää, Finland.

The garrison encompasses multiple facilities including barracks, training grounds, a sports field with running tracks, and an artificial turf soccer field.

Established in 1935 with the construction of the Lamelli Barracks designed by architect Kalle Lehtovuori, the garrison evolved into an artillery base during 1947-1948.
