Children to have their say when ABK builds new multisport area
AB Kristianstadsbyggen, ABK, is to construct a multisport area beside the open-air pool. This will be carried out in co-operation with KFUM Kristianstad Basket among others.
”So that more and more children and families from other parts of the town will want to come here”Henrik Strand, CEO at ABK
Now people living in the area, and in the whole municipality, can have their say in the process. It is planned to have the complex ready for use in 2022.
– We want to create an attractive place for play and sports for all ages and interests, says Henrik Strand, CEO at ABK.
New multisports area
ABKs proposal is to construct a basketball pitch, a football pitch with artificial grass, a multisport arena, play areas for younger children, furniture for onlookers and a pump track for cycling, skateboarding, BMX, inlines and kickbikes.
ABK has a questionnaire in Swedish, English, Arabic and Somali on its homepage. Everyone living in Kristianstad municipality, particularly children and young people, is welcome to answer.
The survey will go on until 28th September.
The project will be carried out in co-operation with others, including KFUM Basket, and is expected to cost about 6-7 million crowns (including VAT).
– If we contribute by providing children and young people with leisure activities, this will have a positive effect on security and well-being. But we are not planning this just for our tenants. We hope to be able to make Gamlegårdsparken even more attractive, so that more and more children and families from other parts of the town will want to come here, he says.
Gamlegården is the biggest housing area in Kristianstad, with 2,200 children living there. Close by, at Näsby, there are another 700 children.
Other people are also welcome to make suggestions. There is a questionnaire on ABK's homepage, in Swedish, English, Somali and Arabic.
The survey will go on until 28th September.
