Antoninkuja 3

The neighbourhood of Pajala is located about a kilometre from the centre of Järvenpää. It has its own primary and secondary schools and grocery stores.

Pajala is an example of re-zoned and more densely built-up urban structure. Old industrial buildings were demolished to make way for tens of new apartment buildings. The attractive Westermarck park was left between the buildings for local residents to enjoy the outdoors and spend time with their children.

Pajala has excellent opportunities for various sports: the local indoor swimming pool, indoor skating rink and tennis courts are located in the area.
