– You can borrow everything you need,so you can try out the activity that interests you. If you want to go camping, for instance, you can borrow both a tent, a sleeping-bag and a primus stove. Quite simply, we want to get the people in Kristianstad moving, says Pia Olsson.

The premises at Sommarlust will open for the public in about a month. Even now people who would like to donate their old sports equipment are welcome to do so.

– There is a box at the entrance to the Town Hall that we empty regularly, says Pia Olsson.
