Now the kids can learn road rage before they start driving
-
A friend told me that it is too teach road sense to school children..
-
Yes that is what it is for it has working lights and all the road signs even speed cam sign, there are also climbing frames swings and all the exersize machines
-
Where is it, there have been rumours abound of a park in Deliktas since we owned there, I'm rather surprised to find out that there really is one!
-
The present Mrs H's opinion is that is true.
-
Yes and we've got photos to prove it John ;) ;) ;)
-
Too funny
-
Its at the bottom near the Olu Deniz road...
-
Thanks
-
The roads are those wide ones where they can overtake and undertake - nice to be able to teach that at an early age. Hopefully there will be those red lights that don't apply to motorbikes, and T junctions where you can just be turning into a side road when some loon overtakes you on the outside!
-
Traffic lights with the digital count down will enable them to learn to count backwards and finely tune reaction times for when the lights are about to turn red or green!
-
From the pictures I think this must be on the ground where soil was dumped, and where workmen built a long stone wall around the perimeter in September last year. Will be interested to see it when we return at the end of April.

To be honest the pictures are like those that show the roads around my apartment well made and palm trees everywhere and a sea view- in reality nothing bloody like it!

Are the climbing frames etc nicely positioned in the middle of the park bit inside the track? Mmm...

Yes GB they will end up as dirt tracks.

I remember turning up one year to our place and the lovely field with the lambs and cattle grazing had turned in to a driving school. We did laugh, it was terrible! It only lasted for 6 months!
-
The exercise area is separated from the driving area and is already proving very popular. The driving area is open, but I have not yet seen anyone use it (although I do not go that way very often).
Compared to the monstrosity that was there before, this is great. Previously, the dumping of anything and everything at this spot made the road in front of it virtually impassable as it (the road) was completely taken over by rubbish and mess. It was also getting very smelly. As for the pictures - they are accurate.
-
Agreed, it's much better than it was, and to be fair they've done a pretty good job on it.
-
where is Deliktas?
-
It is an area of Fethiye near the road that goes to hisaranu
-
Looking forward to seeing this park just down the road from us when we come out at the end of April

Is it beyond the Otogar past where the fruit wholesalers were, or am I going the wrong way?
-
No that's correct, then turn left at the lights and then first right by the life size model of the cow !
-
Yep, I'm with you, I never knew it was called that, looks a nice area!
-
Those of us who have places in Deliktas (used to in my case) have had to put up with a few jibes from Scunner over the years. First of all when buses started to run up the hill and then when our taxi rank arrived!
-
They who live in glass houses and all that!! ;)

This little park is excellent and a great addition to the neighbourhood. It's in 2 parts....the top is a play park with the usual swings, slides, seesaws and other things to ride as well as an outdoor basketball park. There are also keep-fit machines which are well used by the old-gals! All very popular until late in the evening. The lower section is the Trafik Eğitim Parkı which is for youngsters to learn how to use the roads. It is set out with a network of roads, crossroads, fully working traffic lights and crossings and a police office. There is a walking track around the outside. This morning as we passed we saw a traffic policeman (his motor bike was parked there) giving lessons.
Three or four days ago we noticed 6 mobility scooters lined up there. It looks as though these are being used for the lessons although children are using their own bikes and scooters in a evening.
