Mustikkamaa (Finnish: [ˈmustikːɑˌmɑː]; Swedish: Blåbärslandet; literally translates to "blueberry land") is an island in the Gulf of Finland, some 5 kilometres (3.1 mi) to the east of the city centre of Helsinki, and c. 36 hectares (89 acres) in size.[1]

Leisure use

It is owned by the City of Helsinki, and used for public recreational and leisure activities such as jogging, hiking, cross-country skiing, tennis and other ballgames.[1]

There is an open-air summer theatre, restaurant and marina, and the island is connected via a pedestrian bridge to the adjacent island of Korkeasaari, where the Helsinki zoo is located.[1]

Bridges

In 1964, a bridge was built to connect Mustikkamaa to the larger island of Kulosaari.[1]

In 2016, the new Isoisänsilta bridge was opened, connecting Mustikkamaa also to the Kalasatama neighbourhood on the Helsinki mainland.[2]

Thermal energy storage

In the 1980s, three large rock caverns were excavated under Mustikkamaa, to store oil reserves. In 2018, the Helsinki municipal energy company HELEN began converting these into a thermal energy storage facility, capable of holding 260,000 cubic metres (9,200,000 cu ft) of warm (45 °C (113 °F) or warmer) water, with the aim of reducing Helsinki's carbon emissions by over 20,000 tons annually.[3][4][5]
