All agenda items

The Stockholm Ski Association has proposed the construction of asphalt tracks for roller skiing and para-sports at Ågesta recreation area and Högdalstopparna, citing a significant and growing need due to the lack of such facilities and the unsafe training environments currently used. The Sports Administration views Högdalstopparna as a potentially suitable location for a multi-purpose asphalt track and plans further investigation, while Ågesta is deemed unsuitable due to potential negative impacts on other users.

The City of Stockholm has developed a new action plan to become a more "age-friendly city," replacing the previous one. This plan aims to enable older adults to live safely and independently with equal rights and opportunities for societal participation, focusing on five areas: participation, collaboration, social inclusion, housing/urban environment, and communication. The Sports Committee supports the proposal, viewing it as a crucial guiding document for strengthening internal city collaboration and promoting the health of older adults in Stockholm.

Councilor Andréa Hedin (M) proposes a pilot project for "campus schools" in Stockholm, where schools, associations, and civil society would offer a wide range of after-school activities like homework help, sports, and culture to provide a safe and meaningful leisure for children, especially pre-teens. The Sports Department agrees on the importance of meaningful leisure but argues against a pilot project, citing existing extensive city-wide leisure offerings and collaborations, and expresses concern that a campus school model could create a parallel organization diverging from the Swedish association model.

The Sports Committee has approved a statement in response to a referral from the City Executive Board concerning the City of Stockholm's revised food program, "Good food for health, climate, and environment." This program aims to promote healthy and sustainable meals to reduce environmental impact and improve public health. The Sports Committee views this as consistent with its mission, emphasizing the importance of measurable goals, digital tools to reduce food waste, and healthy food options at sports facilities.

The City of Stockholm plans to replace the running tracks, artificial turf, and athletic surfaces at Zinkensdamms IP on Södermalm due to wear and tear, and to improve drainage. The aim is for Zinkensdamms IP to remain a modern and safe venue for elite, amateur, and school sports, as well as the general public, with completion hoped for before the Midnattsloppet in August 2026.

The City of Stockholm will investigate the future of Eriksdalsbadet, the city's largest and most visited swimming facility with approximately 1.5 million annual visitors, due to urgent structural and waterproofing deficiencies. The investigation, costing up to 25 million SEK, will explore three options: a full renovation, renovating the current facility and moving the national arena section elsewhere, or building a completely new facility. The goal is to ensure swimming functions for the public, associations, and national competitions, with a preliminary study expected in early 2027.

The Sports Committee proposes relocating Träffstugan, a recreation center for children and youth with disabilities, from Sköndal to larger premises in Högdalen by early 2027, as their current location will be converted into housing. The new facility at Önskehemsgatan 34 requires adaptations, which Familjebostäder will manage, and the proposed 20-year lease has an estimated annual rent of SEK 2 million.

The Sports Committee has approved an expanded investment of SEK 21.4 million in Sätra ice rink, an increase of SEK 10.1 million from the original 2022 decision. This higher cost is due to increased prices for equipment such as the rink boards, scoreboard, and sound system, as well as general price hikes since 2022, meaning the ice rink will receive upgraded equipment at a greater expense for the municipality.

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.
