Playground Tuhkimo (Leikkipuisto Tuhkimo in Finnish, Lekparken Askungen in Swedish)[6] is a public, free of charge park at Roihuvuori district in Helsinki, Finland.
The playground is located in a valley between two Metamorphic rocks. From the rocks, the area can clearly be seen dating back to the tracks of the ice age. In the 19th century, the area belonged to a tenant farmer called Kiilatorppa from Herttoniemi estate. A map from 1936 showed that this area was just a field.[7]
The Park's name, Tuhkimo comes from the fairy tale Cinderella (Tuhkimo in Finnish). The park has been particularly popular with families. The playground is surrounded by Roihuvuori forests, but from the south, it ends in Tuhkimontie (street).
