Get to know your town -leaflet (Vesanto, FIN)

Below, you can find the leaflet that our upper secondary school students made about how to live in a healthy way in Vesanto, Finland. It introduces the main places where you can buy healthy food and then the places in which you can do physical exercise. In addition to these, the great nature around us like lakes and forests offer great places to spend your freetime in. The same leaflet will be available on our school's website later on as well, and also in Finnish.

Sports hall and gym

Near to Vesannon Yhtenäiskoulu, at the end of Koulutie, there are Vesanto's sports hall and gym. They both are located in the building called Vesantohalli.

Using the gym and the sports hall is easy on the pocket. The gym's equipment is modern and the range of equipment offers various sports facilities to all ages. In the sports hall you can find a climbing wall and a wide range of equipment for most of the indoor and outdoor sports. The sports hall and the gym are large in size compared to the ones in other small municipalities.

 

 

  

Markets

There are two markets in the town of Vesanto, S-market and K-market. They both have a large variety of domestic vegetables and organic products. They both have a wide selection of products and the prices are decent. Both markets are located in the town center, along Sininentie.

  

Vestori

Vestori is a small local store. In Vestori you can find fish, salads, vegetables and bakery products such as Finnish rye bread. Most of the products come from either Vesanto or its neighboring towns. They also sell things like souvenirs, books made by people from Vesanto and woolen socks, scarfs, hats and mittens made with love. Vestori is popular among the older people to have coffee and gossip, but it also welcomes younger people! You can find Vestori opposite to the S-market in the center of the town.

Sports fields

Sports field, ice hockey rink, tennis court and turf field - all of these are found in the center of Vesanto near-by our school. Places are fenced, well-kept and free for all users. During winter ice hockey rink and turf field are frozen for skating and games. During summer there is a tennis court replacing the rink. In the summertime we play football with slippers called “Reiskat” in Vesanto.

    

Shooting range and the running track

The running track is located in the woods. It is near our school and it is 2 kilometers long. In winter you can ski at the running track. In summer you can play disc golf and walk on the running track and there are lights for that track so you can use it at night too. There is a shooting range too, it is in the forest and you can use your own weapons there if you have a license for those weapons.
