Keeping the Kellokoski swimming beach clean and organising equipment rental with the help of summer workers

“When you stand in the middle of Kellokoski, you are standing on top of the rapids and the dam. From this spot, you can see the entire history of the old village.”

This is how Kellokoski is described on the Virtuaalinen Tuusula website. So we have magnificent scenery and a river that cuts through Kellokoski’s history in a fantastic location, with good transport links.

I would suggest that the municipality of Tuusula investigate the possibility of, for example, using summer labour subsidies to start renting out sub-boats from the beach, for example, so that young people employed during the summer could also take care of the cleanliness of the beach and changing rooms. If the beach is not a suitable location for this, other areas, such as the vicinity of Ruukki, should be investigated.

There are also some small rapids along the river that stretches to Hyvinkää, so renting a canoe might not be such a bad idea. At least the scenery would be perfect for swimming and canoeing.

And to make recreational use even more versatile, a boat launch would be a definite plus for the area, although it would have been good to do this in connection with the dam renovation.

Of course, this would require some cleaning up of the riverbanks.
