New local sports facility now open at the Sports Centre
The range of facilities at Tuusula Sports Centre is expanding once again, with a new local sports venue opening today next to the Tekova Arena multi-purpose hall. The accessible sports facility features several exercise areas and a wide range of equipment for sport and fitness.
The area, which opens at 4 pm today, features a wide range of exercise equipment, such as basketball hoops, strength training machines, parallel bars, horizontal bars and pull-up bars. However, the layout has been designed to ensure sufficient space for comfort and safety. The equipment has been selected with the aim of further enhancing the diversity of outdoor sports facilities in the municipality of Tuusula.
Most of the benches and one piece of exercise equipment are still missing from the area; these will be installed as soon as they arrive.
In addition, an equipment container will be introduced in the area at a later date, from which users of the local sports facility can conveniently borrow equipment for the duration of their workout. To use the container, users must create an account.
Some of the activity areas and equipment at the local sports facility have been designed specifically for young people. The new local sports facility is intended for everyone aged 14 and over.
The sports ground is fenced off, but there are gates on three sides of the fence. The area is also well lit, so it’s easy to get around, for example, in the twilight of the morning or early evening.
The new sports facility is easily accessible. It is situated right next to the other facilities at the Sports Centre, and the car park is available for visitors’ use. The sports facility is open to everyone and free of charge.
The local sports facility forms part of the Sports Centre’s extensive long-term development project. The project has included major construction schemes, such as the Tekova Arena and the events area (Urkka Square). With the new local sports facility, the area in front of Tekova Arena, including its car park and gathering area, will take on its final form.
To support the planning work, residents’ wishes and views were gathered. The planning process took into account the needs of various user groups and paid particular attention to accessibility.
Tuusula has been making a determined commitment to its sports centre since the 1970s. Visitor numbers to the area have grown significantly over the years, and last year Urka recorded a staggering total of around 750,000 visits.
