Helsinki's Playgrounds

Helsinki's playgrounds usually leave everything to the two-year-old's imagination. They often consist of a grand total of a swing (often not one for a two year old), a sandbox (always--they love the sandbox here), and a play structure only fitting for kids who climb (i.e. not two year olds). This playground at the eighteenth-century island-fortress Suomenlinna actually had a sort of play house. We made sand cakes!
