Find Helsinki's Turtles, Helsinki, Finland

Add to My List Check Off

A landscape gardener from City of Helsinki's Stara came up with the idea for the turtles because he wanted to create some alternative concrete obstacles for traffic in Helsinki. He wanted the alternative obstacles to be fun, and easy to use elsewhere, e.g. on playgrounds for children. The turtles were chosen as they are slow animals (hence perfect as obstacles for drivers who need to slow down), adorable and easy to pile and difficult to push over. There are also concrete pigs, cars and snails around Helsinki. Stara is a competent and reliable constructor that constructs and manages Helsinki’s streets, parks and public utility services, repairs buildings as well as produces logistics services and technical expert services mainly for the needs of the City of Helsinki.
