Design and construction of Jokikylä's public areas

The Jokikylä residential area and park is one of the new residential areas in accordance with the Riihimäki station area master plan. The goal is to create a high-quality and urban-view residential area in the Jokikylä area within walking distance of the railway station. The Vantaa River, which is located in the middle of the residential area, and the public park area formed around the riverbed play a central role.

Implementation planning, participation and influence

The area's square, park and street plans were publicly available from 9 to 25 February 2024. The plan proposals that were on display can still be found on this website from the drop-down menu. A presentation and discussion event for these plans was held on 19 February 2024 as an online event open to everyone.

Jokikylä's square, park and street plans have become law in May 2024.
