Flowpark Turku is an ecological adventure park located within the grounds of the Skanssi shopping center, designed to be built directly into living trees without harming them. The park features multiple obstacle courses suspended at varying heights, ranging from easy trails for children to challenging high-altitude routes. Participants navigate through bridges, lanyards, swings, and ziplines using a continuous safety belay system. All infrastructure is installed using mounting methods that do not require drilling into or damaging the trunks of the trees. The courses are categorized by difficulty levels, allowing visitors to progress as they build confidence and physical capability. The park operates as an outdoor seasonal venue, taking advantage of the surrounding woodland environment adjacent to the urban retail hub.
The elevated platforms offer unique, high-angle shots looking down into the canopy and the surrounding woodland.
