Parks and Park Forests
In the City of Raahe, there are approximately 1,000 hectares of parks and park forests in total, of which around 250 hectares consist of plantings and maintained lawn areas.
Raahe is a green and leafy coastal city. Over the decades, a diverse network of parks and park forests has been developed, complemented by the extensive use of street trees along roads. The seashore areas are generally open to everyone as public recreational spaces.
In recent years, central parks have undergone renovations, and many young plantings have been established, which will continue to grow and develop over time.
