Ulkoiskentän

Ulkoiskentän is a Finnish term that translates to "outdoor field" or "outdoor arena." It broadly refers to any designated outdoor space used for sports, recreation, or other organized activities. The specific nature of an ulkoiskenttä can vary greatly depending on its intended use.

Common examples of ulkoiskentän include sports fields for games like football (soccer), American football, or rugby, which typically feature grass or artificial turf surfaces. It can also encompass open areas used for track and field events, or dedicated spaces for ice skating or hockey during winter months, often referred to as an ulkojääkenttä (outdoor ice field). The term is also used for areas set up for events like concerts, festivals, or public gatherings.

The design and facilities of an ulkoiskenttä can range from simple, undeveloped plots of land to elaborately equipped venues with seating, lighting, and changing rooms. Maintenance and upkeep are crucial to ensure the safety and usability of these spaces for the public. They play an important role in community life, providing accessible opportunities for physical activity and social interaction.
