Park near Kruununhaka, 1 of 6: Tervasaari Island



Tervasaari is a small park island joined to the mainland by a causeway, named for the tar storehouses that once stood here. It has lawns, a playground, a dog park, a swimming beach for dogs and beds of roses, with sea views back to the city. A stage hosts summer theater and small events, the old rug-washing pier still stands, and the last storehouse dates from 1805.
