Traffic park

The Niirala Traffic Park offers children a safe and fun environment to learn traffic rules through play. This miniature traffic city invites kids to drive pedal cars, follow traffic lights, and practice smooth traffic flow.
Location: Huuhankatu 2 (behind Niirala School, near Valkeisenlampi Lake)
Open in summer 2025: June 2–July 31, Monday to Friday, from 9:30 AM to 5:00 PM. Closed in case of rain.
Helmets and pedal cars are available on-site for borrowing, but you’re also welcome to bring your own helmet. Outside of opening hours, the park is open for free play and independent riding with your own equipment.
Come spend a summer day in the world of traffic – learning, fun, and outdoor adventures for the whole family!
