The nature close to the city, as well as the large parks and forests, are open to all and offer a great environment for a wide variety of recreational activities. In the core of the Helsinki city, the large Keskuspuisto Park opens up to the north.
Recreational areas

The City's Sports Services manage fantastic archipelago areas and maritime recreation parks close to the city and nearby areas. These areas are open to all, either freely or by reservation. Water traffic to the recreational islands is divided into line traffic and small cruise lines, which are managed by private operators.
Archipelago

The coastal location of Helsinki offers great opportunities for boating. Boat harbours are managed by Sports Services and several boat clubs and associations. The city's guest harbours are located in Katajanokka, Suomenlinna, the Pihlajasaari visiting harbour and Valkosaari.
