A playground full of adventures tailored to customer's wishes
"We wanted to add some cheer to the centre of Seinäjoki, and we also hoped to attract families to the downtown area. We started brainstorming the theme of the park together with the customer, and then the customer came up with the phrase 'Seinäjoki is the capital of space', and from there we started working on the park. A unique large rocket lying sideways was planned for the park, and a standing rocket was also modified according to the customer's needs. The base also wanted colour and spectacle, so stars and shuttle flames were included. All in all, it has been delightful to work on this project together with the customer!" says Jarno Virkki, who was involved in the Lappset project as a regional manager.

The Space Park is one of the main attractions in the heart of Seinäjoki, Finland!
"The park has been embraced with incredible enthusiasm, attracting truly substantial numbers of visitors. The entire Central Park has sprung to life, all thanks to the equipment and activities provided by Space Park.
The phrase 'Seinäjoki is the capital of space' refers to facts, phenomena, and images associated with Seinäjoki. When speaking of Seinäjoki, one might think of geography: the city and its surroundings are a vast plain. As Seinäjoki is the most significant city in this expansive area, it is indeed the capital of space.
There's been an impressive number of players since the park's opening, and the Space Park has become one of the central attractions in Seinäjoki!" comments Kari Hirvensalo, the City Gardener of Seinäjoki.
