Ilmaisspuisto

Ilmaisspuisto, meaning "Airfield Park" in Finnish, is a public park located in the Kaakkuri district of Oulu, Finland. The park occupies the former site of the Oulu Airport's auxiliary field, which was active for general aviation purposes until the early 2000s. Following the airport's relocation and the development of the surrounding area, the land was repurposed into a recreational green space.

The park features open grassy areas, which were once runways, now providing space for outdoor activities like picnics, sports, and informal gatherings. Several walking paths wind through the park, connecting different sections and offering pleasant routes for strolls. Remnants of the former airfield's infrastructure are minimal, with most of the original concrete structures having been removed or repurposed.

Ilmaisspuisto serves as a valuable local amenity for residents of Kaakkuri and nearby areas, offering a natural environment for relaxation and recreation. Its historical connection to aviation adds a unique layer to its identity. The park is particularly popular during the summer months when its open spaces are utilized for various community events and individual leisure activities.
