What kind of park is it?
Kaleva Central Park is part of a larger green area that starts in the west as Liisanpuisto Park and continues as Kiovanpuisto Park to the Tampere Swimming Centre. East of the Swimming Centre, the green area continues as Kaleva Central Park to Pellervonpuisto Park. The Pellervonpuisto playing field is still counted as part of Kaleva Central Park. Next to it, a recreational area with benches and tables has been built to replace the former playground. One of the main features of Kaleva Central Park is the Traffic Park. In autumn 2025, a parkour area and a basketball court were opened on the eastern side of the Traffic Park.

The story of the park
The Children's Traffic Park moved from Sorsapuisto Park to Kaleva Central Park after the completion of Tampere House in 1990. Kaleva Central Park and adjacent Kiovanpuisto Park have been renovated and renewed in phases from 2022 to 2025. The renovated Traffic Park opened in Kaleva Central Park in summer 2023. A parkour area and basketball court were completed in Kaleva Central Park in autumn 2025. They are located right next to the Traffic Park, on its eastern side.
