Playing, moving and enjoying nature

35 playgrounds in different parts of the city

The newest playground can be found in Ukonniemi, where you can already play well, even though finishing work is still being done there this summer. 
The equipment of the playgrounds varies, but swings, a bench and a trash can are part of the standard equipment. Most playgrounds also have a slide, a climbing frame and various spring swings. All playgrounds can be found in the map service link at the end of this article behind the QR code.

Imatra's numerous nature trails present the basic nature of forests, beaches and waters with their numerous species.  

The nature trails have signposts and QR codes on them, from which you can use your smartphone to open the own signposting material for each trail. 
In addition to the nature trails of Imatra, the Outdoor Active web service includes the multi-use trails of Karhukallio, Lammassaari, Mustalammi and Ukonniemi.

The service can be found at outdooractive.fi
