Edible Park details and equipment
The park is available for booking primarily during the summer season from May 1st to September 30th.
Note! In June-July 2025, the park will not be available for other activities, as the facilities will be in use for camps and the summer café.
Edible park´s summer paradise is located at the western end of Mustikkamaa, near Isoisän Bridge. In the park’s red cottage, which serves as the park’s heart, visitors can enjoy the summer café run as a youth business. In the outdoor garden, visitors can get to know the summer chickens and explore the gardening activities.
The use of the facilities and services is divided into free and paid usage. Youth groups and organizations can book space for their own activities and events. When allocating time slots, priority is given to youth organizations and youth groups from Helsinki, for whom the time slots are free of charge.

General instructions for facility users
The facilities are used on a self-service basis, which means you must leave them as tidy as they were when you arrived.
Special attention should be paid to the cleanliness of the kitchen, stove, kitchenware and yard because the next group might arrive right after you. You should therefore allow enough time for the final cleaning and putting everything back in its place. If something breaks during your reservation, you must inform the staff.
Onboarding, user agreement and keys
Users of the facilities always conclude an agreement on independent use. It may only be signed by an adult responsible for the group, who must present their ID. When you sign the agreement, we hand over the key and explain how the facilities should be used.
You should always agree on this onboarding well in advance with the staff. The facility includes an information folder with important instructions, information about the region and an emergency plan.
Internet access
The park has its own network, whose the password can be found in the information folder.
No smoking
The indoor and yard areas of the Edible Park are spaces where no smoking, alcohol or drugs are allowed, and where the principles of smoke-free Helsinki must be followed.
Sustainability
Youth Services units operate sustainably, which means that the operations are as environmentally friendly as possible. The Youth Services have been awarded the EcoCompass certificate.
