New playground at Elinegard now open

A big playground has opened between the new Elinegard School and the new Hemkop.  There is a kind of park area with picnic tables (and a huge public toilet!) and the playground has swings and a large climbing frame.  Lots of new flowers and trees have been planted too and, even though there is a lot of building still to take place, the whole area at the east end of Limhamn's Kalkbrott is starting to look really nice....!

Allsång vid Kalkbrottet! Starts 26th June at Four Gardens Mat and Spa

The first event of the season for 'allsång vid Kalkbrottet' is at Four Gardens Mat and Bar next to the Kalkbrott in Limhamn on 26th June.  Lasse Berggrensson and band will start at 20:00 so that everyone has time to get home from work and join in. 

The Allsång vid Kalkbrottet events will run for 5 weeks between 26th June and 24th July with special guests appearing every week to lead the singing :

This looks a fun evening for everyone and think it's going to be a great summer of singing by the Kalkbrott!

Kalkbrottsloppet 2019 - run in Limhamn's Kalkbrott!

The annual run inside Limhamn's Kalkbrott is scheduled for August this year and on 31st August 2019 you can again run inside Kalkbrottet!

Kalkbrottsloppet 2019 run is 5.4km long and is one of the hilliest organised runs in Malmo with 120m of uphill running across the course.  Organisers say:

"The course: The first 600m. is flat, and then it goes downhill on a gravel road into Kalkbrottet. Please be aware of your footing as you run down the hill. After a little bit of flat running there will be a “little” hill that you will have to run up and then back into Kalbrottet. Here you will run for another kilometer before you will run up the last hill and exit Kalkbrottet on the western side, and run towards the finish."

Looks great fun and after selling out in previous year's the advice is to book up early!
