Pitches and playing fields

Baseball fields
Baseball fields are located in Kauppi Sports Parks and in Tesoma.

Kaukajärvi tennis courts
Beach volleyball courts
There are thirteen beach volleyball courts maintained by the City of Tampere. No booking is needed for these courts (except in Kaukajärvi) and using them is free of charge.
Playing fields in parks
The playing fields in the parks are situated alongside playgrounds or other activity areas. The fields are intended for recreational use and have no booking system. Most of these have at least lights and football goals. Parks feature playing fields with gravel, crushed-stone or artificial turf surfaces.
The parks also have neighbourhood sports facilities with fitness equipment, and some have a mini arena suitable for ball games. For example, these arenas can be found in Sorsapuisto park, Käärmekallionpuisto park in Tesoma, Rautaharkonpuisto park and Lammaskallio in Olkahinen. There are also game arenas in some school playgrounds.
Contact information
The Sports Services is responsible for organising recreational activities on the pitches and fields and for allocating bookings together with clubs and Suomen Palloliitto.
Playing fields in parks are administrated by the Urban Environment service area, the fields in school playgrounds by Tampereen Tilakeskus Liikelaitos, and the pitches and athletics fields by the Sports and Youth unit.
