The summer 2025 park lunches will be held from June 9th to July 18th, Monday to Friday, in three different playgrounds: Höyhtyä central playground, Ilmarinen park playground in Kaijonharju, and Rajakylä central playground.
In the parks, there will be various activities for children and young people from 10 to 11 AM, and dining will start at 11 AM.

What are Park Lunches?
Free of charge lunches are offered to children and young people under 18 years 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.
