Versatile Äänekoski
Äänekoski has versatile exercise facilities and affordable hobby opportunities. We have e.g. new overpressure hall, Finland's most energy-efficient ice rink, newly completed skate hall and Pump Track track, skiing center Äänemäki, multi-purpose arena Pankkari, Liikuntatalo, two swimming halls, several free frisbee golf courses, one of which is a winter course, as well as wonderful nature trails and numerous beaches.
Äänekoski is a city of culture and there is something for everyone! Äänekoski has a vibrant range of events for all ages. You can spend your free time in the cinema as well as in cultural and historical settings around the city - also in the footsteps of Akseli Gallen-Kallela. The renovated Kulttuurikeskus Painotalo has wonderful facilities for dance enthusiasts, theater and concerts. Äänekoski Art Museum is open all year round with changing exhibitions and the new city museum is currently being renovated. Äänekoski has four active libraries.
Comprehensive services for families with children, such as a functioning kindergarten and school network, offer the opportunity for a good life. Äänekoski invests in quality and good early childhood education and we have new kindergartens and a new log kindergarten will be completed in Koivisto in 2024. Äänekoski has wonderful and modern schools and, for example, the new school in Koulunmäki is currently being built. We have high-quality and top-level teaching from pre-school to high school and vocational school.
