STAY ACTIVE!

There is many things to do in Finland! It can be just having sauna and fishing, but in Merikoivula we have also created good opportunities for sports and gathered here numerous tips on various opportunities and activities for exploring nearby.

MANY THINGS TO DO IN MERIKOIVULA

We have two freshly Set & Match acrylic-coated tennis courts surrounded by a fence. In addition a football and volleyball court, children’s playgrounds, and a power court. In the shed on the edge of the playgrounds, you will find everything you need – tennis rackets, various balls, and other sports equipment.

Use of the playgrounds and equipment is free for guests of the Holiday Village, we just ask you to return everything back to it’s place.
