In Laune park, you'll have lots of fun. There's a traffic city, where you can drive with free bicycles and scooters. There are pipes and water, and parents can rest on grass while kids are having fun.

Vesiurut means water organs. Every day at 13:00 and 18:00, at the park there is a small 15-minute concert. The fountain starts in unison with music from speakers up in the trees. There are some classical music pieces and some Finnish pop music pieces. You can sit on rocks around the fountain, but be aware - you may get wet. During the fall, there are also lights playing.

Public beach, changing rooms and toilets, a small number of public parking spots are nearby. Close to city centre on the shore of Vesijärvi, water quality in the lake is excellent.

Tens of kilometres of forest trails for walking, cycling and skiing. No dogs allowed on ski trails in winter.

An event for fans of old cars and motorcycles; American cars from the 1950s and 1960s are particularly well represented. Hobbyists, collectors and automobile clubs bring out their well-polished treasures from their garages, car-related businesses market their services, there are presentations, competitions and a motorcade. The main event takes place indoors, but there are almost as many beautiful old cars to see in the yard as well. Namely, people who arrive in a vehicle that's at least 30 years old may park it on the fairgrounds free of charge (and they will be part of the "outdoor" exhibition).
