Tervasaari (Finnish: [ˈterʋɑˌsɑːri]; Swedish: Tjärholmen), meaning "tar island", is an island in Helsinki, Finland, in front of the district of Kruununhaka. Tervasaari is connected to the mainland by a long causeway called Tervasaarenkannas. The causeway is connected to the Pohjoisranta street on the eastern edge of the city centre.[1][2]
Facilities on the island include a granary restaurant, a children's play park, an area for dogs with a dog swimming place, an event venue and a pier for washing mats.[2] Tervasaari was renovated into a functional island in the 1990s.[1]
