The third element of the City of Turku’s sports grant system reform is the new support for competence and development targeted at sports clubs, which aims to ensure high-quality coaching in all sports clubs and associations in Turku.
The City of Turku is reforming grants related to sports and the pricing of the use of sports facilities. The reforms will be introduced in 2025. The aim is to promote the well-being of children and young people through physical activities, to support hobbyists of different sports more equally than at present and to control the increase in the costs of hobbies.
From 2025 onwards, Turku is the first in Finland to introduce a sports grant for children and young people: Each year, the City of Turku gives all Turku residents aged 7–19 years a voucher for the fees of regular, guided sports hobby activities organised by sports clubs and associations in Turku!
Free hobbies and clubs in Turku comprehensive schools and their neighbouring areas have been put together in school-specific hobby schedules.
School clubs are mainly intended for pupils of the school in question and are free of charge, unless otherwise stated. Changes are possible. Most of the schedules are only available in Finnish and Swedish.

There are 150 playgrounds in the parks of Turku. The playgrounds are maintained and the condition of the playground equipment is being followed regularly. Some playgrounds offer instructed activities for children.
The city does its best to make the playgrounds safe and stimulating environments the whole family can enjoy.
The playgrounds are inspected approximately once every three months. The inspection includes checking the safety and condition of the playground equipment. The basis of the standards concerning playground equipment is to prevent accidents and damages.
Turun puistoissa on 150 leikkipaikkaa. Leikkialueita hoidetaan ja leikkivälineiden kuntoa seurataan säännöllisesti. Osassa leikkipaikoista on ohjattua puistotoimintaa lapsille.
Leikkipuistoista pyritään luomaan turvallisia ja virikkeellisiä leikkialueita, joissa koko perhe viihtyy.
Leikkipaikoille tehdään tarkastuksia noin kolmen kuukauden välein. Tarkastuksissa tarkastellaan muun muassa leikkivälineiden, kalusteiden ja turva-alustoiden kunto ja turvallisuus. Leikkivälineitä koskevien standardien lähtökohtana on ennaltaehkäistä vahinkojen ja havereiden syntyminen.
