Frequently Asked Questions
Can I fish in Kuusisaari during events or event construction or dismantling?
It depends on the event organizer. The event park, or a part of the park, will be rented to the event organizer against payment and the organizer has the right to determine who is allowed inside the venue. If fishing is prohibited in Kuusisaari, it will be for a good reason, such as guaranteeing the safety of people in the area. During event construction and dismantling, there are usually large machinery and traffic in the area.
