Overview
Kaakkuri is a former karting track that has been repurposed for roller skiing and skating. The layout is completely flat, so there is no climbing or descending to speak of.

The asphalt quality is acceptable, although the track can collect quite a few puddles after rain, so it is worth allowing some time for it to dry.

The flat layout may make Kaakkuri particularly interesting on fast wheels, but with standard training wheels the experience is less compelling. Given Oulu’s extensive network of bike paths, there are arguably more varied and enjoyable options for roller skiing if you are not specifically looking for a place to test your speed on a flat circuit.
