Multi-arena for fur animals

An arena for fur animals, where everyone is welcome! That is what Arjeplogs Riding Club wants to create through the project multi-arena for fur animals. 

About the project

Arjeplogs Riding Club strives to construct an efficient and modern sports facility where fur animal-related sports are in focus. It will be a place where the sports can thrive and where the participants and their animals get a facility that is tailored to their activities. Through this initiative, the premises will become available to a broader audience!

Over the past 20 years, Arjeplogs Riding Club and the Working Dog Club have conducted their activities in premises that are not adapted for their operations. We feel that it is time to create an arena that is tailored for those who engage in sports with fur animals. We want the sport to have similar conditions and terms as, for example, floorball and similar sports.

The project will give our children and youth the opportunity to be involved in the planning and construction process. The goal is for them to have a youth center-like facility where they feel welcome and where they have the opportunity to influence. The premises will be available for everyone who engages in some form of leisure activity or sport, as well as for anyone interested in animals. It will be possible to hold training sessions and competitions for both local residents and invited guests. The premises will be well adapted for the various activities conducted.

From the Project Application

”We see it as a strength that several associations can utilize the same arena. Through this, we create community and understanding between each other.”

Purpose and goals

The purpose of the project is to:
create a multi-arena for fur animals. A place where the sports can develop and where the participants and their animals get a facility that is adapted to the activities

The goal of the project is to:
enable the premises in the riding hall to be accessible for more athletes. We will build changing rooms with privacy and functioning shower facilities. We will also build a modern theory room that also serves as a youth space. In the same area, a kitchen with a serving and dining area will also be built.
