Development of services in the Oittaa outdoor recreation area

• Residents’ event 16/6/2026: We organised a residents' event open to all on the plan.
• Read the news June 8th, 2026: Espoo will develop the Oittaa outdoor recreation area – participate in the discussion

Participate in the Voxit discussion on the development of services of the Oittaa outdoor recreation area(external link, opens in a new window). The Voxit discussion will help us determine what the services in the outdoor recreation area should be like. What do you think about the following statements: “Oittaa should have year-round accommodation available.” and “The area should have more extensive sauna services than at present.”?

The discussion will be open between 8 June and 31 July 2026. It will be open to everyone interested in the Oittaa outdoor recreation area. In the discussion, new statements can be added until 30 June 2026. After this, participants can vote on the already added statements until 31 July. The likes indicate how important participants consider different perspectives to be. “We therefore hope that many people will remember to take a look at the discussion again or even several times during the summer. Both the statements and the likes are important information for us,” the planners say. 

Participation in the discussion is anonymous and takes place online on the digital Voxit discussion platform. You can participate in it in your native language by using the translation button. Please note that the translations are produced by the AI used by Voxit. Unfortunately, the City of Espoo cannot guarantee that there will not be any errors in the translations. 

The results of the discussion will be published later on the plan website. The results obtained will be used in the development of services in Oittaa.

The aim is to systematically and comprehensively develop tourism, outdoor exercise and recreation services in the Oittaa outdoor recreation area. The aim is to expand and diversify the current service offering, as well as create the prerequisites needed for new service providers. In addition, efforts will be made to improve the parking arrangements and accessibility of the area.

Oittaa Manor and possibly also other buildings in the area will be protected. Prerequisites for the sale of the manor building will be created by planning its intended use. Culture-historical, landscape and natural values will be taken into account in the planning of the area. The area will be an area for outdoor exercise, sports and recreational activities also in the future.
