The park is officially known as 'Yukari Kotsu Koen' in Japanese.
The miniature infrastructure includes scaled-down intersections that mimic real Japanese traffic laws to teach children how to stop and yield.
It is specifically designed to provide a safe transition environment for children before they begin cycling on public roads.
Eucalyptus Road Safety Park in Matsudo, Chiba, functions as a specialized educational facility designed to teach children traffic rules through experiential learning. The park features a miniature road network complete with functional traffic signals, pedestrian crossings, and road signs that replicate real-world driving conditions. Children can practice navigating these mock streets, often using pedal go-karts or bicycles available on-site to simulate vehicular traffic. The layout is explicitly intended to improve road safety awareness among local youth in a controlled, off-street environment. It remains a municipally managed facility operated by the city of Matsudo to support public safety education.

Check the local municipal weather advisory, as outdoor safety activities are typically suspended during heavy rain.
Do not attempt to bring motorized vehicles or large scooters, as the paths are scaled for bicycles and non-motorized training aids.
Closed on Mondays and during the year-end/new-year holiday period; also subject to closure during inclement weather.
Supervision by an accompanying adult is required; follow all traffic signals even when the path appears empty to model proper behavior.
