Traffic Park

We found a Basel activity book with an entry that was too good to pass up and just down the street: the traffic park. It's a park located on a busy street, but it's isolated from the traffic with a narrow entrance and is about 6 feet below street level. Here's the concept - it's a road system complete with traffic lights, sidewalks, stop signs, bike lanes and road markings but it's used to help you teach your children about how to cross the road and ride a bike on the road safely without actually being on a busy street...GENIUS! Parents can also bring their kids there just to play - it offers many different routes for them to ride on and it looked like the kids there yesterday evening were really having a great time.
