I know one court.
Hiekkarannantie is the name of the street, in a beach area, it's the best place that I know.

The two outdoor courts in Lauttasaari are almost always vacant.

There is an outdoor court in Töölö, next to Regatta Cafe/Mestaritalli restaurant. Mondays there is usually a bunch of players from 7pm. I've been many other times and Tuesday-Thursday there is a small chance someone will be shooting around. Often there are some well behaved skater kids playing for fun.
Apparently in Meilahti outdoor court there is a run on Tuesdays and Thursdays though I heard the Tuesday session can be a bit cliquey. There are 2 courts next to each other so can't hurt to turn up.
In Hietsu Beach, it's always busy, but there are far too many 'wannabe' ballers there, too many gangstas wearing watches who can't really play. I prefer not to play with that sort of player as it's more likely you'll get injured. I have seen a few decent players there playing half court, especially sunny days.
The session in Kumpula is held in the Helsinki University Kumpula campus sports hall. It's easy to look up. It doesn't happen over the Summer but I'm sure it restarts again in the Autumn.
For rainy days I found it's worth just turning up to Kisähalli in Töölö. There is a timetable up on the board inside so you can check when the courts are free. There are 2 inside. The one that Topo play on which is really nice, and the one in the main hall which is ok but kind of slippery. It's €2 for entry there. There are often some random people shooting around and willing to play a game.
