The area is divided into two sections: a sports zone with various facilities and pitches, and a forest zone with trails and natural settings that connect to Näsijärvi Lake.
Kauppi Sports Park was created to promote active living in Tampere and has grown over time to become a popular spot for local athletes and sports events. Many local teams train here, and the park has hosted numerous community sports competitions and gatherings throughout its history.

The park is easy to reach from central Tampere by public transit and features clear signage and paths throughout. Facilities are well-organized with equipment available for use, and visitors can explore open fields or forest trails depending on their interests and the season.
The park features lit ski trails that allow visitors to ski and train even after dark during winter months. Additionally, the Niihama Nature Trail spans over 3 kilometers with ten marked checkpoints where visitors can explore different forest types and wetland habitats along Niihamajärvi Lake.
