Kumpula swimming pool is where it’s at!. on those rare sunny days in Finland, at least ;) After years as a Helsinki resident, I finally paid a visit this past August with my kid. There aren’t that many outdoor swimming pool in Helsinki, and furthermore the weather seldom allows for that. I was really surprised how well they are set up for youngsters. Big lawns where you can stake your claim and lay out. With my kid, I went to the sauna a few times, the kids pool, and also the fountain pool area. I’ll knock off a star because the parking was dreadful — on sunny summer days, expect some traffic :/Also the food options were really lackluster — fast food style, I was expecting something more refined and healthy. All in all, great outdoor swimming experience in Kumpula! Highly recommended — go check it out :)
