Just to let anyone with babies and toddlers know that we plan to meet again this week at the Play park Linja (located near Hakaniemi, behind the round building and up the hill):
Time: August 9 (Tues) from 10:30am
Place: Play park Linja, Toinen Linja 6, 00530 Helsinki
There is a parking lot there for those who prefer to drive, I don't know if it's city rates or not. There's also a large, uniform-depth (we think - maybe 1ft?) wading pool. Last week the wading pool was dry, I don't know if it's already gone for the season.
If you need help figuring out how to get there try hsl.fi or http://www.reittiopas.fi/en/ or get in touch.
FYI: If you come out of the main Metro entrance and go behind the round building, it's not the playground on the water, find Toinen Linja and it's up the hill on the left. If you come out the other entrance to the Metro, swing around to Toinen Linja and walk up the hill. The address is a bit confusing because 7 is at the bottom of the hill on the right and 15 is at the top, across from the play park.
See you there!
If anyone would prefer we go somewhere else, please say so!
