Not out of town, but Tanhua Temple Park is huge and very empty most days. Giant lawns and a great view over the city too:

Out of town, you may want to check around Fumin.
Here are a few suggestions to get you started:

There are also several hot spring/spas on Dianchi Road.
Haven't been to either, so can't vouch for quality or cleanliness, but you can start by looking here:
No results found.
Passable no-frills Dongbei food including lots of dumplings, tofu, disanxian and other standards. Fair prices too.
A pleasant surprise hiding inconspicuously inside the Second Ring Road. Go for the temple, stay for the lovely forested park and its ample solitude.
Excellent service even when packed and the food is top notch. Great group of owners too.
Had the buffet here recently. A bit expensive but discounts are available for groups. Seafood, including crab, lobster and sushi were all fantastic. European and Chinese dishes were great as well. Beer was included with dinner. Overall, excellent service and food.
Excellent dumplings for omnivores, vegetarians and carnivores. This is a hole in the wall joint with no frills, but the owners are friendly and the dumplings are just right. Five stars if they get higher quality vinegar.

No end in sight for Xuefu Lu traffic upheaval
发布者Subways are scheduled to be finished by 2020. The 2017 date is for when Yi'er-yi and Xue Fu will become two-way, but the subway construction should be chaotic for both streets for the next few years.
