Renovation of Koululampi park area begins
The municipality of Tuusula will begin renovation work on the Koululampi park area in Jokela this week. Among other things, the vegetation in the area will be renewed and a new sunbathing and recreation area will be created.
The renovation of the park will begin with tree felling, which will be carried out in March 2026, i.e. before the start of the bird nesting season. A tree survey was conducted in the area in spring 2025, which found that some of the trees in the area are in poor condition. Aspen trees in particular have suffered significant insect damage. In addition, the trees have been found to suffer from drought and decay fungi, among other things.
The trees to be removed and replaced are presented in the Koululampi park plan, which was on display from 2 to 15 October 2025 and approved by the Technical Committee on 18 November 2025.
Work machinery is used in the area, and movement must be restricted during working hours.
Construction of the park will begin in late summer 2026. A separate announcement will be made when construction begins. As part of the renovation, the park’s furniture will be replaced and the stormwater conditions improved. A new sunbathing and recreation area with hanging swings, sun loungers and picnic tables will be located at the northern end of the park. A paved area will be built next to the winter swimming spot.
The vegetation in the area will be renewed and developed to support biodiversity. Flowering trees and shrubs will be added, and part of the lawn will be converted into a meadow. The living conditions for birds will be improved by, among other things, lowering the eastern shore of the pond and planting protective shrubs along the shore.
