Viinikka Park Tampere

Amazing basswood trees!

Katja from Tampere

About me Entrepreneur, runner, mum, writer... I have many roles! I came to Tampere because of... you know the story: because of a man. It was in the year 2001 and Tampere had been my dream since a little kid because of our amusement park Särkänniemi even back in the 1990s, and I still love that park! Now we have two daughters (born in Tampere of course) and I cannot imagine another home for ...
""Viinikka Park" is definitely one of the most beautiful parks in Tampere if you ask me! Its basswood trees are beautiful all year round..."

If you ask me, Viinikka park is definitely one of the most beautiful parks in Tampere. It is not far away from the city centre and you can easily access the park by bus or bike. Viinikka park is full of basswood trees, which are beautiful all year round. Of course, in the wintertime they don't have leaves, but it doesn't matter. Straight lines of trees are mesmerizing in wintertime, too.

In the spring (around May), leaves start to grow from the trees and in June and July they are fully grown. The park is amazing in the autumn, too. You can go for a walk there, run or bike. There are some benches where you can sit, read or just breathe and enjoy the view.

Also, in the summertime sometimes there are flea markets in the park, always on a Sunday. So if you are visiting Tampere in August, go check out if there is a flea market arranges by the locals!

Now we have two daughters (born in Tampere of course) and I cannot imagine another home for my family. We are a running family - I have run several half-marathons and three others in my family have the triathlon as a hobby. So if you want to know the best places to run or cycle ...
