• Primeval forest boardwalks at Haltiala, where you must stay on the trails and duckboards, and the duckboards are sometimes underwater, so bring boots
• Bikes share the trails, and cyclists are told to slow down and ring to pass, so keep small kids close on the main route
• Lit routes until 11pm, with the lights back on at 6am, so evening walks and skiing work in the dark months

Central Park (Keskuspuisto) is a century-old city forest that runs about 10 km from Töölönlahti bay to Haltiala at the northern city border. Trails cross spruce forest, meadows and fields, and the southern end is more like a city park.

In Haltiala, kids can walk duckboards through primeval forest past farmland. Many trails become ski tracks in winter, and a 16 km mountain bike trail is open to all.
