Playgrounds

Visit amazingly fun playgrounds in Raseborg. Lejonparken, “The Lion Park” in Ekenäs is a beloved playground right next to the harbour and Stallörsparken. 

Fiskars playground is located right by the market square. Here kids can live out their sailor fantasies on the ship-shaped jungle gym.  

In Karis’ beautiful nature area Pumpviken you will find an adventure track, with different obstacle courses and activities, plus a mountable cableway that is 20 meters long! 

There are several smaller playgrounds that the city administers. Find all playgrounds here.

A Day Outdoors 

Raseborg with its beautiful forests and hiking trails is perfect for families. The Enchanted Forest trail in Västerby is 5,5km long and is full of blueberries to pick. You can also grill your lunch by the grill site, or take a dip in the lake. In the archipelago you can find Öuddens fairytale path, where magical beings hide.

If you are moving with a pram, Ramsholmen is the perfect location for an accessible walk. In this beautiful park area, located near the heart of Ekenäs, you can spy on birds, spot unique trees and maybe go for a swim at the beach.   

In Fiskars you can find many shorter trails, and in Karis you can’t miss Pumpviken for a beautiful walk!
