Vallilanlaakso, park in Helsinki, Finland
Vallilanlaakso is a valley with sports facilities in Helsinki, stretching between residential blocks and green spaces. It has walking paths, trees, a small pond, and a large artificial turf field that has been in use since 2020.
The area was open farmland with small gardens and homesteads until the 1970s. After development in the 1980s, the fields were replaced with a park and sports facilities that are now heavily used.
Vallilanlaakso is where neighbors and families gather to spend time outdoors and share activities. Sports events and community gatherings shape how people experience this space and connect with one another here.
The park is easily reached from central Helsinki and has restrooms and changing facilities for visitors. The open layout and marked paths make it simple to find a good spot to sit or walk.
The site also hosts the Kumpulan botanical garden and the Vallilan community garden, which have operated since 1932 and show how locals have grown plants here for generations. These historic gardens add a special cultural layer to the valley.
