Movement and enthusiasm in Kågeröd

About the project

The countryside is unfortunately drained of local places for meetings and exercise. Unfortunately, Kågeröd is no exception to
the rule. Another dilemma for Kågeröd is that the exercise that takes place is segregated in different places according to
association, activity, age, and interest. What exists at Brahevallen today has reached the end of the road. The offerings are monotonous and limited in use to the warm season. New ”rules” apply among the youth; the desire to come for the best still exists, but nothing less than that. There is also an increasing demand for sports facilities free from requirements and obligations, where you do what you feel like in the moment.

Among the elderly, attitudes are also changing. Aging is not experienced prematurely, and many are open to active activities well into old age. Approximately one in five residents in Kågeröd is today 65 years or older, but at the same time there are few sports opportunities for them. Many natural social meeting places in everyday life have also disappeared in the wake of digitalization. For those in mid-life, the challenge is often to incorporate movement and exercise into the hectic daily life. With more and more people working from home, the need for places in the local environment that offer social contact and context as well as opportunities for movement is increasing.

Goals of the project

We want to create a modern meeting place for exercise that provides a higher level of activity overall among the residents of Kågeröd, making the countryside more attractive to live, work, and thrive in. More specific goals are:

• Year-round opportunities for exercise and a daily life with everything close at hand.
• Create more ways to move in both organized and spontaneous forms.
• Make the sports facility a home for a broader circle of associations, as well as a larger variety of people. (Rävetofta
  Orienteering Club, Kågeröd Table Tennis Club, Röstånga Gymnasts, and Svalöv Disc Golf Club).
• A place that breaks down barriers between generations, geographies, and sectors that generates new contact points and
  constellations

The Swedish Board of Agriculture has approved the project on September 11, 2025.
