Environment and nature

In Järvenpää, the urban way of life and Finnish nature intertwine in an exceptionally invigorating and sustainable way.

The newly renovated Rantapuisto park is a source of well-being in Järvenpää and a versatile event venue. Due to their location and accessibility, the different parts of the park are very well suited for a wide range of events, from small and spontaneous to major events for up to 5,000 people. The area has restaurant services, a playground, facilities for independent exercise, a skate park, a boat dock and a beach, as well as an ice rink in the winter.

Resource wisdom

Järvenpää’s response to the challenges of climate change, the depletion of natural resources and the loss of biodiversity is resource wisdom.

The idea is to reduce the adverse environmental impact while promoting the well-being of residents and strengthening the competitiveness of the area in a changing world.

Järvenpää aims to be carbon-neutral by 2035 and a zero-waste city of sustainable consumption by 2050.

A resource-wise Järvenpää is created together with residents, organisations, companies and other local operators. The City’s task is, above all, to set an example and create opportunities for resource-wise everyday life. For example, by placing housing within walking distance from the train station and investing in cycling conditions, we can create the conditions for low-emission everyday mobility that promotes health.
