Park Walk - Royal Manor and Old Town Bay — Katariina Saksilaisen katu 9, Helsinki, Helsinki
Description was written before the event

The park walk departs from the courtyard of Tapahtumakeskus Koskenrannan at Katariina Saksilaisen katu 9. The route first goes to the Pornaistenniemi area, where Helsinki's water areas, birds, and autumn are discussed. From there, it continues to Royal Manor - the birthplace of Helsinki's history at the mouth of the Vantaa River - and further across the bridge to Koskipuisto and Verkatehtaanpuisto parks, where a stop is made to reflect on their history and current state.

After crossing Hämeentie, the walk heads to Annala, where the focus is on urban farming past and present. The walk ends at the courtyard of Annala villa. The route is approximately 2.5 km long and suits families with children and people with mobility restrictions who can walk at a leisurely pace.
