LePa Arena

LePa Arena is LePa's home base in Leppävaara. It is operated by a company owned by the club. Mostly it is used by LePa's own teams, but other clubs and entities can rent the pitch as well. If you are interested in it, contact the club CEO. You can find the reservation calendar and the prices from here (in Finnish).

Next to the Arena is also LePa's office. The building also contains dressing rooms and toilets for the players.

The pitch is a modern artificial turf sized 70×50 m. During the winter, the pitch is covered by a dome and it is warmed up to about +5 degrees. During the summer, the dome is taken down.

Safety guidelines

The dome is not a fixed structure so it is normal that it wobbles a bit during strong winds. If the wind speed is more than 21 m/s, the dome is closed.

If dome is slowly sinking or it wobbles a lot:

  • Report it to coach or another adult

  • Exit calmly through the revolving door

  • Do not open emergency exit doors

  • In the event of outage, backup engine starts automatically and keeps the pressure up

If dome wall ruptures, or roof sinks quickly or it has a visible depression due to snow:

  • Report it to coach or another adult

  • Exit also through the emergency exits and close the door when everyone has exited

  • Call to number 020 730 7040

In case of fire:

  • Rescue those in danger

  • Extinguish using hand extiguishers if it safe to do so

  • Alert by calling 112

In case of vandalism (e.g. slashing the walls, opening emergency exits, disturbing activity):

  • Report it to coach or another adult

  • If necessary, exit through the revolving door. Use emergency exit only if there is a real emergency (because it drops the pressure in the dome quickly)
