Focus: Activities

2 min read

We are convinced that thriving neighbourhoods where everyone feels included are good for the whole of Borås. The survey shows that many people want more activities for children, young people and adults.

We want to make a difference in the lives of our tenants and everyone in Borås. Activities and events create a sense of belonging and safety, and bring people closer together. Equal and meaningful leisure time matters for both mental and physical health. The survey asked in particular for playgrounds, sports activities and a larger youth centre with more activities.

What have we done so far?

  • Held another streetball tournament on Hässle Torg after last year's success.
  • Invited people to an outdoor cinema on Hässle Torg.
  • Built a multi-sports arena.
  • Opened and celebrated the new multi-sports arena with activities.
  • Held a street football tournament on Hässle Torg.
