Council initiative to establish a traffic park in Tuusula

Traffic parks are popular places for children and families with children to spend time, where children can learn traffic rules and traffic safety through physical activity. The objectives of Tuusula’s municipal strategy include developing the conditions for well-being, ensuring safety in everyday life and the local environment, developing participation and lifelong learning, and offering wonderful and innovative opportunities for leisure time. Traffic parks are accessible, low-threshold places for people to meet and engage in activities.

A traffic park in Tuusula would provide families with children with a setting for community activities, meeting, playing and exercising. It would support traffic education in early childhood education and pre-primary and primary education and serve as a learning environment for early childhood education and schools. The traffic park would also offer opportunities for summer employment for young people.

The traffic park would also increase the attractiveness of Tuusula from a tourism perspective, as there are no traffic parks in the surrounding municipalities. The project could also be examined through possible business partnerships. The location

of the traffic park could be examined, for example, in connection with the next update of the Sports Centre’s general plan or other regional planning. The Sports Centre already has municipal-owned sites available for the implementation of the project, as well as ready-made parking facilities, for example. The traffic park would also function as part of a mobility-promoting entity.

We, the undersigned, propose that Tuusula launch the planning of a traffic park project.
