Pohjois-Haaga railway station (Finnish: Pohjois-Haagan rautatieasema, Swedish: Norra Haga järnvägsstation) is a railway station on the Helsinki commuter rail network located in northern Helsinki, Finland. It is located about eight kilometres to the north/northwest of Helsinki Central railway station. The Pohjois-Haaga station is located in the district of Lassila, between the stations of Huopalahti and Kannelmäki. It is the first station after the split between the Vantaankoski track and the rantarata track towards Turku. Near the station, from underneath the track on the bridge, is a light traffic route, which can be used to follow the train tracks all the way to the city centre. On the other hand, the tracks cannot be followed to the north towards Kannelmäki, because after Pohjois-Haaga, the tracks continue on a narrow bridge. Sometimes, pedestrians use the bridge anyway to get to the other side of Kehä I. This has caused dangerous situations. The Helsinki City Transport takes responsibility of the station.

The Päijänne Water Tunnel (Finnish: Päijännetunneli, Swedish: Päijännetunneln) is a water tunnel located in Southern Finland. At 120 kilometers (75 mi), it is the second-longest tunnel in the world, running at a depth of 30–100 metres (100–330 ft) in the bedrock.The purpose of the tunnel is to provide fresh water for the over one million people of the Greater Helsinki area, including the cities of Helsinki, Espoo, Vantaa, Hyvinkää, Järvenpää, Kerava, Kauniainen, Kirkkonummi, Sipoo and Tuusula. The former Porvoo Rural Municipality, now merged with the municipality of Porvoo, also took part in the building of the scheme but has never drawn water from it for domestic use. The tunnel starts at Asikkalanselkä in Lake Päijänne, the second-largest lake in Finland with an area of 1,080 square kilometres (420 sq mi). From there, the tunnel slopes slightly downhill allowing water to flow naturally with gravity. Water from the southern portion of Lake Päijänne is of good quality at the tunnel intake, and usually drinkable without processing. The tunnel ends at the 0.5 square kilometres (0.19 sq mi) Silvola reservoir in Vantaa. From the reservoir, water is pumped to water treatment plants in Pitkäkoski and Vanhakaupunki. Since the constant low temperature in the deep tunnel ensures high quality during transport, only minimal processing is required before use.The construction of the tunnel started in 1972 and was completed in 1982, at a cost of approximately €200 million (adjusted for inflation). In 1999 and 2001, portions of the tunnel required repair due to rock falls. In 2008, the tunnel underwent an extensive renovation. The southern part of the tunnel was reinforced in order to prevent cave-ins. During the renovation, the Vantaa River was used as an alternative water supply for the Greater Helsinki area. The tunnel has a cross section of 16 square metres (170 sq ft), wide enough for a truck to pass through, enabling a water flow of 10 cubic metres (350 cu ft) per second. It takes approximately nine days for the water to traverse the length of the tunnel. At current water usage rates, treatment plants take water at a rate of about 3.1 cubic metres (110 cu ft) per second for drinking water processing. The tunnel can be used as an emergency water reserve during water supply disruption.

The Haaga Rhododendron Park (Finnish: Haagan Alppiruusupuisto) is a public park containing various varieties of rhododendron, located in the district of Haaga in Helsinki, Finland. Although originally used for breeding and research purposes, the park is now a popular attraction among locals. The first rhododendrons were planted in 1975 by the University of Helsinki's selective breeding program; this included the construction of a series of wooden walkways, allowing travel by visitors without disturbing the plants. Originally 3000 individual specimens were planted, with the goal of breeding species to adapt to the Finnish climate. The 3000 original specimens had been selectively bred from the Japanese Rhododendron fauriei. In 1996, the park was expanded to the north with an additional 1500 azalea specimens, also originating from Japan.Through its existence, the park has produced eight unique cultivars for commercial purposes; they're named after the park, the university, and various individuals involved with the project.The park is a popular local attraction, particularly in the early summer, when rhododendrons flower.
