Safetyville USA

Safetyville USA is an educational park in Sacramento that recreates a functioning city at one-third scale, complete with streets, traffic signals, crosswalks, and scaled buildings. The site includes replica shops, government offices, and public facilities, all equipped with working traffic infrastructure.

The park opened in 1984 as a hands-on learning environment for teaching road safety to children. Over the decades, the concept has remained focused on practical experience as a foundation for understanding traffic rules and emergency response.

The site demonstrates how children learn traffic rules and safety procedures through hands-on play in a working miniature town. Visitors observe young learners gaining their first practical experience with pedestrian behavior and road awareness.

The park is located on the Bradshaw Road campus and operates primarily for school groups on weekday programs. Visitors should wear comfortable clothing and be prepared for physical activity since pedal cars and bicycles are part of the hands-on learning experience.

The park uses real traffic signs and signals scaled to child size, allowing visitors to learn in an authentic yet completely safe environment. This approach recreates genuine traffic situations without exposing learners to the dangers of actual roads.
