For nature lovers, there are lakes for swimming in the summer and ice skating in the winter. The Nissan River flows quietly and calmly through the town, contributing to a delightful sense of tranquility. The Trasten area is a charming and green residential neighborhood in central Gislaved, perfect for families with children. The houses, built in the 1960s and 1970s, have a classic and timeless character. Several properties have undergone extensive renovations, featuring new bathrooms, improved ventilation, and modern windows, providing a fresh and pleasant living environment. The area is strategically located between forest and nature on one side and the proximity to the center on the other, offering both greenery and urban conveniences within reach.

Children can safely reach the playgrounds scattered throughout the communal courtyards. There are plenty of opportunities for the young ones to play and create memories with neighborhood kids in a safe environment. In the summer of 2024, a new basketball court was inaugurated, surrounded by a green park area – a perfect place for older youth to meet and be active. The area is designed to suit all types of families, with several pleasant outdoor environments that create a park-like feeling and encourage community among residents. Here, you can enjoy both the tranquility of nature and the closeness to shops, restaurants, and community services in central Gislaved.
