The Sports and Exercise Unit is responsible for the city’s sports and exercise activities. We create the conditions for different types of exercise and support residents’ activities. Our unit contains four sub-units: sports facilities, outdoor recreation services, sports services, and development.

We promote outdoor and recreational activities as well as competitive and top-level sports, develop health-enhancing physical activity, maintain sports facilities and organise guided exercise classes for people of all ages. We support sports clubs and work closely together with them. As a pioneer in the digital sports and exercise culture, we create new ways for people of all ages to be physically active.

Our unit is responsible for over 500 sports facilities and sea-related activities such as boating and fishing. We also manage sports facility reservations.

We organise our own sports events as well as collaborative events together with the other city units and our partners.
