This is hardly a proper parking spot in the true sense, but rather a car park at Järvelä beach. In true Finnish style, this is a proper sauna complex with no fewer than six different saunas. To Järvelä Do you go to swim, use the sauna or be active in nature? Here you can also hire bicycles, paddleboards, canoes or rowing boats. A few days a week there is a food truck here serving really good street food.

You have access to the facility's shower and toilet, but during sauna opening hours, it gets very busy and doesn't seem to be cleaned during the day. The place is bookable via the Finnish app Matkaparkki, but since you are parked at the baths, it's a bit unclear how the booking is maintained. So, it's good to be there on time.

The low rating comes from the assessment of the parking area; the area itself is nice, although it was a bit too far from the centre of Turku to be an option for a city visit.
