सांस्कृतिक पृष्ठभूमि

Parks are considered 'everyman's land' in cities. It is culturally acceptable to spend hours doing nothing but sitting on the grass. Kaivopuisto and Esplanadi are the most famous parks. 'Esplanadi' is for seeing and being seen, while 'Kaivari' is for big picnics. 'Puistokalja' is a common summer activity for young adults, often involving portable speakers and snacks. Finnish cities have excellent 'leikkipuistot' (playgrounds). Parents often say they are 'menossa puistoon' specifically meaning the playground.
