In Kellokoski, associations and various organisations can apply to use the Patruuna and Voima halls at Kellokoski School for indoor sports activities outside school hours. The municipal sports services allocate the school’s sports hall slots for the school year among the organisations based on their facility requests.

The sports halls are primarily intended for school use and secondarily for use by organisations. However, weekly use of the Patruuna Hall is not possible. In the autumn and spring, there are university entrance examinations, which means that the Patruuna Hall, for example, is not available for other activities.

For example, between 12 and 30 September 2022, Patruuna Hall will be closed to organisations due to university entrance examinations. In addition, the hall will be unavailable for use due to the Old Students’ Ball, school Christmas parties, etc.
Kellokoski Nuorkka (youth centre) operates in very cramped premises at the end of the library. The space is far too small and cramped and does not meet the needs of young people, so there is no sensible indoor meeting place for young people in Kellokoski.

When social and health services are transferred to the welfare sector on 1 January 2023, municipalities will remain responsible for the welfare of their residents. However, providing a wide range of sports opportunities and various indoor activities, as well as promoting the wellbeing of young people, requires suitable facilities to be available for these purposes.

A multi-purpose building will be constructed in Kellokoski, which will include various hobby and sports facilities as well as a space suitable for young people. Meeting facilities in Kellokoski can be found in Kellotupa and the school, among other places, so there is no particular need for additional facilities. Due to the availability of detached house plots, many families with children are moving to Kellokoski, which increases the need for sports and leisure facilities and a youth centre. The availability of detached house plots means that many families with children are moving to Kellokoski, increasing the need for sports and leisure facilities and a youth centre.

Residents of all ages need exercise and recreational facilities in Kellokoski to promote their well-being and health.

An ideal location for the multi-purpose building would be the plot between the school, health centre, Kellotupa and ice rink (plan number 3513). The plot has a small house plan along Koulutie, which does not seem appropriate considering the location of the plot. Instead, the plan for the plot should be changed to a public building plot, i.e. a Y plot. This would enable the construction of a multi-purpose building. The area already has a spacious car park that is used by the ice rink and the health centre. The multi-purpose building would complement the existing school, ice rink and sports field in the area.
