The project has developed a network of different routes:

​

Footpaths:

The network of paths has a hierarchy; forest paths, which are currently trodden by the townspeople, are added to the main asphalt paths. Part of these paths will need to be paved and lit, and the forest will need to be thinned out to provide a 50-meter line of sight. The rest of the paths should be left in their present, wild state so that the townspeople can afford to walk along the forest paths.

 

Bike lanes:

1. The network of cycle paths is separated from the pedestrian route as much as possible.

2. The bike path connects the university peninsula with the park area through the projected bridge.

3. There are several bike paths of different lengths: 800, 1000, 1500, 2000, 2500 m. The total length of the bike paths is approximately 8.8 km.

4. Along the embankment, the bike path “leaves” the pedestrian route into the depths of the forest so that the pedestrian promenade remains safe. In addition, combining a bike path and a pedestrian route in this part of the park is not possible, because. the width between the pines is small.

5. An additional bike path has been organized along the cemetery, which will also serve as a ski track in winter.

 

Ski route:

1. The network of ski routes coincides with the bike routes.

2. Organized several tracks of different lengths:

800, 1000, 1500, 2000, 2500 m. The total length of the bike paths is approximately 8.8 km.

3. The ski rental point is located between the two main entrances, deep in the forest, but at the same time on the active walking route of the “city embankment”. Thus, the ski base is always visible to passers-by, but has a comfortable starting point in a pine forest.

4. An additional ski track is organized along the cemetery and coincides with the bike route.

5. The existing ski route in the eastern part of the park will continue to operate as usual, but the load on this route should be reduced due to the emergence of alternative ski routes. The route from the existing rental point is proposed to be combined with the route along the cemetery.

6. The ski route is formed in such a way that it passes through a cafe and a sports ground, as well as through a toilet and a first-aid post.

 

Ice rinks:

1. The park has 2 ice rinks in different parts of the park, with completely different atmospheres, so as not to compete with each other, but to complement each other.

The first track is located in the western part of the park and includes the square and the existing alley. Skate rental is located on the waterfront. The skating rink consists of 2 tracks with different dynamics:

closed field on the square;

a transit ring around existing tracks.

2. The tracks of the ice rinks are located in close proximity to the cafe, which has a beneficial effect on the economy of the winter mode of the cafe.

3. For the arrangement of the ice rink in the eastern part of the park, in the channel of the Saimaa, a number of activities should be carried out:

the water level in the Saimaa river should remain at a constant level, and not drain for the winter. To do this, it is necessary to exclude storm drains into the river so that the water is clean and does not have to be renewed annually.

 

Siberian Express route on Husky sled dogs:

1. A route on Husky sled dogs is provided on the territory of the park. In the eastern part of the park there is a site for the installation of an aviary, in which Husky dogs are brought on weekends and holidays and rides along the bed of the Saimaa River are arranged. In order to cross pedestrian streams as little as possible, the route is laid along the ski track from the side of the cemetery and goes to the river in the western part of the park. The river bed is the most interesting route for sledding, not limited to pedestrian crossings and interesting in terms of open views.

2. The aviary is located on a pedestrian route in order to be able to attract visitors and those who want to ride.

3. The route passes through the main entrance, where the active zone and the largest number of visitors are expected, thereby drawing attention to the attraction with dogs.

 

Boat route:

1. The boat station is located in the active western part of the park, next to the entrance and the beach area.

2. The boat station is a pier with a canopy and a small ticket office and storage of life jackets and technical equipment. Under a canopy you can hide from rain or sun, there will be a pleasant space for spending leisure time near the water.

3. Boats are not supposed to be stored in the boat station. Boats are stored in a special storage room, which is located next to the park administration. The warehouse or part of the warehouse can be rented from the park administration by the owner of the boat station. Such a scheme of separate storage of boats is the most effective in terms of the concentration of the warehouse in one place, which is easier to control. It is assumed that all land tenants and owners of various businesses can rent part of the warehouse for their own needs and equipment storage. Delivery of equipment across the territory is carried out on special vehicles at the most suitable time of the day/year, when pedestrian flows are the least.

 

Forest paths:

1. To diversify the routes in the park, 4 types of paths were developed with different surfaces, widths and types of lighting: a) main routes in the form of an asphalt path b) forest paths with larch coating c) forest paths along drainage ditches with stone paving & nbsp; d) unpaved forest paths This scheme shows paths with larch wooden pavement.

It was decided to choose larch flooring instead of decking, as consultations with specialists showed that larch is much more reliable and durable than decking.
