Kontula swimming hall. Mixed feelings, a wonderful pool area. Is it new? Run by Urheiluhallit who usually run excellent facilities, very nice! Not so flashy dressing room and saunas/showers area, but ok. But outside... darkness, rain, suspicious people standing in the dark in the rain in the park as I walk by... gangs having some kind of fight, not sure how serious. Anyway, I am not usually afraid almost anywhere in the world, but now I felt a bit insecure here.
I also saw a rat cross one of the walkways.
The swimming hall is right in the middle of the Kontula shopping mall area. The official web page for the hall is here.
Checking Kontula wikipedia article, it says that the swimming hall was renovated in 2007. That explains the nice pool area.
