Malminkartano Recreation Hall

Presentation

The Malminkartano Hobby Hall is a new space dedicated entirely to recreational activities, opened in August 2021. The hall hosts low-threshold casual games in various sports, with the most popular so far being volleyball, badminton, and soft tennis. Basketball, futsal, and floorball can also be played at the hall. Equipment includes dumbbells, kettlebells, exercise tools, and yoga mats.

Open youth activity hours are for those aged 12 and above, with a youth instructor present. Open activity clubs take place on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Thursdays from 4:30 PM to 6:30 PM. Indoor sports shoes are available to borrow; bring your own water bottle.

During the autumn and spring seasons, the hall offers sports trials and short courses. More information is available at nuorten.hel.fi.

The hall is closed for the Christmas holidays from December 23, 2024, to January 6, 2025.

The space includes a cozy lounge area, two changing rooms, one accessible dressing room, and a large indoor court that can be divided into three sections.

The Malminkartano Recreation Hall offers over 600 m² of activity space, equipped with a versatile range of sports and hobby equipment. The courts can be divided into three sections, one of which is also suitable for dance activities. Adjacent to the lounge area is a small kitchen, available for use by separate reservation.

The hall operates on a self-directed basis, meaning there is no staff on-site except during youth open activity hours. Users receive guidance and instructions for utilizing the facilities. The hall is managed by Helsinki City Youth Services.

The aim of the recreation hall is to foster a new, diverse low-threshold hobby culture where activities and leisure opportunities are co-created with local youth, organizations, and residents. With this new space, the range of activities available in the area will expand significantly. Registrations for youth activity groups can be made via the Nuorten.hel.fi website.

The recreation hall welcomes everyone to contribute to developing new activities in the area.
