Within the next ten years, the sports facility network will have significant updating requirements as several central and popular sports facilities will reach the end of their life cycle. For this reason, the Sports Services initiated working on a sports facility network update plan in the autumn of 2019.
The objective is to promote the fitness and wellbeing of all people, the professional prerequisites of top athletes and the competitiveness and attractiveness of the whole city. The mission is to create an ecosystem which promotes sports, exercise, wellbeing and health by integrating actors.
Turku will become a nationally and internationally attractive and respected centre of sports and exercise, combining:
