The city does not have the resources to increase the number of areas to be maintained.

In Hämeenlinna, a council initiative for a hiking trail in Kutalanpuisto will remain unrealised, at least for the time being.

During the official hearing of the initiative, it was stated that the city does not have the resources to increase the number of areas to be maintained, so the initiative to build a park is unlikely to fit into the investment programme for the coming years.

Instead, the city will, if necessary, renovate the existing trail and boat ramps near the Kutala River.

In the initiative, a new Kutalanpuisto was proposed on the shore of Lake Katumajärvi, where there would be a barrier-free route, signposts, rest benches and a barbecue area.
