The Sports Committee presents its activity report for 2025, assessing that all City Council's strategic goals have been met. The report shows the committee has successfully worked to ensure all children and young people in Stockholm have access to meaningful leisure activities, regardless of background or where they live. Special efforts have been made to increase swimming proficiency, reach teenage girls, young people with disabilities, and youth in socioeconomically disadvantaged areas with targeted activities and a lowered age limit for gyms.

The Sports Department has decided to provide financial support to various sports clubs and events in Stockholm for 2025 and 2026. This includes SEK 350,000 for Friday Dances for FUB Stockholm, SEK 470,400 each for Husby FF HT and Rinkeby United FC for spontaneous football in Järva, and SEK 395,000 for the Swedish Ski Association for "Everyone on Snow." Additionally, several equestrian clubs will receive support for recreation leaders, and various swimming, running, and athletics events will be funded.

The Stockholm Property Committee will purchase 14 cooperative apartments in the Brf Bruket area of Farsta for approximately 45.3 million SEK. These homes will serve as supported living residences for individuals with disabilities, allowing the Farsta City District Council to rent them and address the current lack of such options in the area.

The Real Estate Committee intends to purchase 13 new cooperative apartments in Brf Cristina, located in Hägersten-Älvsjö, for approximately SEK 45 million. These will serve as assisted living residences for individuals with disabilities, with occupancy expected in 2028. The district council will then lease these apartments for around SEK 1.9 million annually.

Two temporary sports halls, approximately 3,500 square meters in total, have been built at Vinsta BP in Vällingby. These halls, which will primarily host basketball and table tennis but also school sports and other activities, will replace facilities during the renovation of Vällingby swimming and sports hall from 2025 to 2028. The project's final cost of 57.3 million SEK, 17% over budget, was partly due to accelerated construction to meet deadlines and unforeseen repair costs for recycled materials.

The Property Committee has approved the final report for the renovation of Pilträdet 11, building 6, on Kungsholmen. This yellow-classified former care building, located in a culturally significant area, has been transformed into modern office spaces for the Education Administration, accommodating approximately 170 employees. The project came in under budget at 74.4 million SEK (compared to 98 million SEK) but was delayed until September 2025 due to unexpected hazardous materials and an appeal in the procurement process.

The City of Stockholm plans to replace the outdated 1970s building at Ådalen playground in Grimsta, Vällingby, with a new, larger facility. Expected to be completed by autumn 2027, the 165 sqm building will provide modern, accessible, and energy-efficient spaces for play, games, and creative activities for both children and adults. It will also feature improved ventilation, a better working environment, and sustainable solutions like solar panels and geothermal heating.

The City of Stockholm is planning a major renovation of the property Pelarbacken Större 4 on Götgatan, Södermalm, which houses Södergården, Söderbokhandeln, and other shops. This culturally significant building is in poor condition and requires modernization to meet current fire safety, accessibility, and energy efficiency standards. The project, expected to finish by summer 2028, will include installing an elevator, demolishing a courtyard building, and temporarily relocating tenants, with the Culture Committee acting as the primary tenant for association activities.

The Real Estate Committee has decided to renovate the 1923 sewage system in Stockholm City Hall (Eldkvarnen 1), which has reached the end of its technical lifespan. This project, primarily involving pipe relining, is scheduled to take place in phases from 2026 to 2029 to minimize disruption, ensuring City Hall remains operational for employees, events, and the public.

The City of Stockholm has decided to replace the running tracks, artificial turf, and athletics surfaces at Zinkensdamms IP on Södermalm, as they have reached the end of their lifespan and are heavily worn. Work will begin after the bandy season and is expected to be completed before the Midnattsloppet in August 2026. This ensures the sports facility remains a crucial venue for elite sports, recreational sports, and school sports.

The Real Estate Committee has approved plans for a new park play building in Kronobergsparken on Kungsholmen, replacing the previous structure that was destroyed by fire in 2023. The new 176 square meter building will house park play activities, an open preschool, and a leisure center, meeting higher standards for accessibility and sustainability. Construction is expected to finish by late 2027, with the current temporary pavilion to be dismantled in 2026.

The City of Stockholm will investigate the future of Eriksdalsbadet, the city's largest and most visited swimming facility, which suffers from urgent building deficiencies. The investigation, estimated to cost up to SEK 25 million, will examine three options: a complete renovation of the current facility, a complete renovation with the national arena moved to a separate location, or building an entirely new facility on the same site. The aim is to ensure Eriksdalsbadet continues to serve the public, sports clubs, and as a national arena for aquatics in the long term.

The City of Stockholm has adopted a local action program to improve water quality in Strömmen. This program aims to reduce pollution from sediment, traffic, and wastewater, as well as enhance the habitat for aquatic plants and animals. These measures are necessary for Strömmen to meet EU environmental quality standards and are estimated to cost hundreds of millions of kronor, with some actions already having specific cost proposals.

The Moderates proposed that the City of Stockholm investigate digitally sharing solar power between municipal properties and leasing roof space to external actors to increase solar energy use. The Property Management Office views internal digital sharing positively, believing it could reduce electricity costs once new legislation is in place, likely by 2026. However, the office considers leasing roof space to external actors inconsistent with its mandate.

The Real Estate Committee received a referral response regarding the city's new food program, which aims to promote healthy and environmentally friendly food in Stockholm's operations, such as schools and elderly care, and to strengthen the city as a 'food city.' The office supports the program's goals for sustainable food but seeks clarifications on purchasing and staff meals. They also wish to clarify that the impact on restaurants, for example in swimming pools, occurs via lease agreements and not solely through procurement.

The Real Estate Committee has responded to the City Executive Office's proposed action plan to make Stockholm more age-friendly. The plan focuses on five areas, including housing and urban environment, where the Real Estate Committee is responsible for creating safe and accessible public spaces and training staff who interact with the elderly. The committee is positive about the plan but requests clarification on which specific employees will be trained.

The Real Estate Committee has approved a new lease agreement for Laroy Restaurang AB, located in the Landbyska Verket 1 property. The restaurant, operated by various companies within Stureplansgruppen since the 90s, will now have its lease extended under new terms.

The City Auditors investigated how the Real Estate Committee and other companies manage property maintenance, including schools and nursing homes. The audit revealed the Real Estate Committee needs to improve its basis for prioritizing maintenance, gain a comprehensive overview of property needs, and ensure maintenance plans exist for all properties. The Real Estate Committee welcomed the recommendations and will take action, including developing prioritization principles and implementing a new system by 2026 for better maintenance oversight.

The Real Estate Committee approved the 2025 activity report and financial statement, including a SEK 7.8 million re-budget for climate investments. The report highlights successful efforts to reduce energy use and CO2 emissions, such as installing LED lighting in Sköndalshallen and Grimstahallen, alongside a safety improvement project at Bredängs BP to enhance attractiveness and security.

This protocol from Stockholm's Disability Affairs Council addresses several issues regarding accessibility for people with disabilities. Topics include Sweco's report on accessibility in Stockholm's sports halls, the "More in the Stands" project aiming to make events more accessible, and the Real Estate Department's new guidelines for accessibility in construction. The Council emphasizes the importance of involving individuals with lived experience and ensuring that developers comply with new building regulations.
