Dog park in Lahela, initiative

A dog park has been desired in Lahela for ages, and numerous proposals and initiatives have been made on the subject over the years. Here is another cost-effective solution: at the end of Saniaisentie in Lahelanrinne, there is a large, almost completely unused sand field owned by the municipality, which already has the necessary facilities for a dog park:

• The sand field would be a good enough base for a dog park.   
• The sand field is so spacious that it could also accommodate a car park, with enough room left over for a playground and a sports/football field where the football goals are currently located.   
• This sand field already has lighting and a ploughed road leading to it, which means that the dog park's rubbish bins could be emptied by a refuse collection vehicle.

I propose that we put this currently underutilised area to good use and, with minimal effort, a quick schedule and reasonable costs, turn it into a dog park in Lahela, where there are many dogs and a high demand for a dog park.

The proposal has been discussed with residents on social media (in the Lahela Facebook group on 17 March 2024), where the idea received a largely positive response.

I propose that the municipality of Tuusula quickly build a dog park, utilising this ready-made location, which is currently 99% of the time empty and unused. The field is so large that it would be nice if it could be divided up to better serve several user groups: children, outdoor enthusiasts, athletes and even dog owners.
  In the centre
of Hyrylä, an area for car parking was quickly built on the site of the former municipal hall. I would like to see the same speed in promoting the Lahela dog park, and with a much smaller budget.
