Department of Sports & Leisure

In the city's neighborhoods, the Department of Sports & Leisure provides various services related to residents' leisure time. This includes swimming pools, sports centers, skate parks, and artificial turf fields.

About the Department

Activities that are less neighborhood-specific include Hitt Húsið Youth Center, the Geothermal Beach, Reykjavík Family Park & Zoo, swimming pools, and ski areas.

ÍTR collaborates extensively with stakeholders in sports and youth work, provides grants to clubs, and supports children and adolescents' participation in their activities with the recreation card.

Reykjavík residents have many possibilities to enjoy leisure activities, and all age groups should be able to find something to their liking. ÍTR emphasizes communicating information about such activities in a simple way, whether they are operated by ÍTR or other City institutions. A special emphasis is placed on promoting opportunities for children and teenagers in the city's neighborhoods.
