Safetyville USA

 

The Children's Safety Program provides life-saving safety education through its unique Safetyville USA program. Safetyville USA was opened at the Safety Center in 1984. The 1/3 scale town is complete with real sidewalks, crosswalks, streetlights, a police, fire and sheriff station, and businesses that can be found in any city.

The goal of the program is to reduce injury and possible death of children resulting from preventable accidents. A trained volunteer tour guide leads children, preschool through third grade, through the town teaching them a variety of safety skills, including: fire, bicycle, pedestrian, electrical, stranger danger, and railroad safety. Since the opening of Safetyville USA in 1984, over 125,000 children have benefited from this experience. Approximately 10,000 children tour Safetyville USA each year.

The children touring Safetyville USA are from all social and economic levels and come from all over Northern California. The tour fee is $2.00 per person; however, special needs groups are given special consideration. This facility meets ADA requirements, and all children are encouraged to attend.

For more information on Safetyville USA, call 366-SAFE ext. 239.

Safetyville USA is located one mile south of HWY 50 at 3909 Bradshaw Road. (map)
