The pandemic has increased the need to be able to move and play sports outdoors.

The artificial turf in Karlstad is normally not made ready for play until week ten, but this year it is already happening in some places.

On Ilanda and Örsholmen, snow removal has already started and possibly the artificial turf on Västerstrand will also be plowed.

- We hope that it will provide a lot of movement for children and young people.

In the clip above, Mikael Eskilsson also talks about who can use the snow-cleared football pitches.
