THE FEEL GOOD PARK IN PORI FINLAND

(Ei-suomalaisille lukijoille johdatus aiheeseen)

For our English readers we like to introduce our great event in the town Pori in Finland.

Health promotion is important. When you avoid diseases and mental health problems you strongly improve life quality. Life time expectancy increases and social and health costs gets reduced – both a lot.

One part of health promotion is to walk in the nature. MOTION or MEDICATION. That’s the question. Research shows that in many cases you may do your pick – but MOTION js much more effective than MEDICATION.

The 85 000 people town Pori is located at a river delta with many isolated islands. One of them, the Polsanluoto island, is located half a mile from the town hall and the town centre. Polsanluoto is nearly untouched and wild. You get there by a bridge or by a cable ferry. In the island there a footpaths and duckboards for pleasant walking.

We encourage everybody walk in the nature. If you happen to be in the town centre, take break and go to Polsanluoto. After the walk you feel good, really good.

On Saturday June 17, 2017, we have a big Event, called the Day of the Nature, a part of the Finland 100 Year Jubilee. The Event takes place in Polsanluoto. There will be many activity points, such as sport, canoeing, archery and firefighting. There will be music, you can experience a moment as disabled, information on the surrounding nature plus many other things. Finally there will be singsong and the Polsanluto island will be officially declared the FEEL GOOD PARK of Pori.

If you are in Pori on June 17, 2017 please join the E
