Oittaa Recreation Centre which is located at the shore of Lake Bodom offers quite a number of different activities for everybody who is interested in spending time outside, exercising and meeting people.
You can participate in guided hiking tours, swim in the lake, go canoeing or on a rowing trip in the summer months. During the winter you might want to use the ski tracks and snowshoeing routes. After the sauna real Finns enjoy winter swimming as well (well, I dont think I would but I think the possibility to do so should be mentioned here as well).
The restaurant offers food and drinks and has a wonderful terrace.

"Out in the wilds I would like to own a crenellated castle, with a tower of grey stone and timbers of pine and oak. There I would brood on my own, spend a few hours in my laboratory, a few in my library, and the rest of the day forging metal, painting and sculpting."
This building in which the museum is situated was constructed according to designs by Akseli Gallen-Kallela in Espoo. The Gallen-Kallela Museum preserves the memory of this artist who worked in the Renaissance spirit to produce a surprisingly extensive and varied range of works including paintings, graphics, frescoes, stained glass, sculpture, posters, illustrations, textiles, official decorations, uniforms, flags and architectural designs. The museum also tells of the artist's family and friends and of his travels, including his early years in Paris, his adventures in Africa, and his expeditions to the untouched wilderness tracts of his native Finland.

The Nuuksio Park is a great place for an easy hike, the different trails are well marked and there are 2, 4 & 7 km trails.

The Nuuksio Park in the summer is even better, with its beautiful lakes on a warm sunny day you cannot get much better then this.
