The park has plenty of space for activities, but also for simply being in nature and enjoy the surroundings. The multi-function field and lawn areas of the Santalahti lakeside park are suitable for a wide variety of games. The area also has a beach and a carpet washing point. Space has been reserved in the park for skateboarding and BMX facilities, and a birdwatching tower will be built on the shore. The park has also been equipped with public barbecue facilities, and dogs have been provided with their own dog park and swimming place. In winter, the area is connected to the frozen lake and its ice skating tracks.

Särkänniemi Event Beach

The Santalahti lakeside park is equipped also with facilities for organising different kinds of events. When used for events, the park is called Särkänniemi Event Beach. The construction of the park has taken into account event requirements, such as load-bearing lawns, water, sewers and electricity, and the fairway widths needed for event activities. The design and structure of the park, and above all its location, make the area a great venue.
