Here you’ll find outdoor and indoor arenas for sports, leisure, fairs, exhibitions, concerts, and conferences, etc. The outdoor area covers over 100,000 square meters. In addition to the area having arenas for different sports, it also has a riding facility, a large gym as well as different pitches and running/skiing tracks.
Everything is run by the municipality of Västerås and the area has more than 2 million visitors annually.
