Park Lunches

The city of Oulu launched Park Lunches for children and young people in the summer of 2024 in three places.  Park Lunches will continue also in the summer of 2025. 

What are Park Lunches?

The city of Oulu launched Park Lunches for children and young people in the summer of 2024. Free of charge lunches were offered to children and young people during weekdays and fun activities in cooperation with partners and volunteers.

All activities are free of charge and you do not have to register for the lunches. The child must bring a dish, cutlery and a drink. The food can be eaten at the park or taken home in a container. If there is excess food, it will be served to be taken home to avoid food waste. For this, you will need to bring your own container.  

Only one meal will be served every day, and all special diets cannot be taken into account. 

More detailed programming and menus along with their special dietary information are updated weekly on Park Lunch page in Finnish and on the Park Lunch Instagram: @puistoruokailuoulu  

Children participate in the event on their guardians’ responsibility. 

Park Lunches are coordinated by the city of Oulu's Youth Services.
