Arena Skövde is a versatile multi-facility where you can exercise, swim, and unwind all conveniently under one roof. Beyond recreational amenities, Arena Skövde transforms into a dynamic arena suitable for elite-level sports, international championships, concerts, fairs, and bowling.

In the heart of Skövde, Helénsparken is a charming green oasis featuring a playground and quaint shops housed in historic red cottages. The park boasts a stage occasionally used for local events, and within its grounds stands Helénstugan, Skövde's oldest building. Believed to have been constructed in the early 18th century, Helénstugan is a residential gem that survived the significant town fire of 1759, making it a unique testament to Skövde's history. Named after its last inhabitants, Lotta and Petter Helén, the cabin preserves a piece of the town's architectural heritage.

Crocodylus Park offers a close-up look at one of the world's most feared predators, boasting five croc species, including the Philippine Crocodile, the rarest in the world. Croc feeding demonstrations take place daily, and there is also a small zoo displaying some Australian animals, like kangaroos and dingos, as well as lions, tigers, monkeys, and more.

The regional park Calblanque is a beautiful nature reserve with amazing sandy beaches, cliffs, and mountains. There is a small visitor centre where you can get more information about both flora and fauna, and routes for the hiking trails. Be aware, there are no facilities like cafés and restaurants here as this is a protected area.
