An Unknown Stadium, Helsinki, Finland

This lovely little athletics stadium is set in the park, behind the Olympic Stadium. I passed it on the tram into the town centre, and jumped off later to take some photos. I wasn't disappointed!
I could picture myself here on a lazy, long Finnish summer evening, as dusk doesn't seem to come, watching a provincial athletics meeting. Nothing could be more civilised unless ot was used for a football match!

Hopefully someone will be able to put a name to this palce for me!

I loved this wooden entrance. And amazed by the lack of graffiti or vandalism.



Going through the gates it looked basic as I turned my head leftwards.



But glancing in the other direction...beautiful! A little wooden stand at the far corner, with a traditional pavilion in between!



This was a recent poster on a noticeboard, I was hoping this was the name of the track, but having just goggled it no such luck!



Plenty of flat stnading for spectators down the straight.



The pavilion. Very nice.



Abd the wooden stand.



Smart & clean, wish it was a football stand!



At the far end is another entrance similar to the one I entered from.



And a superb view of the stand from the bend.



Along the other straight is some open benches. Who on earth would sit here, rather than the wooden stand?



And finally a glimpse across the pitch, sadly no football markings on them.
