The Sports Park (Finnish: Turun urheilupuisto) in Turku was opened in 1893.

The choice finally fell on an unspoilt and largely rocky area in which there was already a pond that was used for ice skating in winter.
Today the site belongs to the city center and borders directly on the eastern bank of the Aurajoki River .
The large park includes a variety of z. Sports facilities, some of which are open all year round. In detail they are:
- Paavo Nurmi Stadium
