Kärra, Suburban district in Hisingen, Sweden

Kärra is a district and primary area on Hisingen in Gothenburg, with an area of 1,438 hectares. From 1971, HSB and Riksbyggen built about 3,000 apartments in 2–8-storey slab blocks, terraced houses and villas on former farmland in Klareberg, grouped around Kärra Centrum, which opened on 29 November 1978.

Kärra was once a rural area on Hisingen, shaped by farms and open land before the city expanded northward in the 20th century. As Gothenburg grew, the area was gradually built up with housing and infrastructure, becoming the residential district it is today.

Sports shape leisure time in Kärra: Kärra HF plays handball, Kärra KIF football and Kärra IBK floorball. The district also has Kärra sim- och sporthall, known locally as Kärrabadet, and Kärra aktivitetspark. The name is written Hisings Kärra in postal contexts.

Kärra is easy to reach from central Gothenburg by tram or bus, and the local streets are flat and straightforward to walk around. Most daily needs can be met within the district, so a short stay here does not require many trips elsewhere.

Kärra's sports clubs are central to local life: Kärra HF plays handball, Kärra KIF football and Kärra IBK floorball. The district also has Kärrabadet, the Kärra swimming and sports hall, and the Kärra activity park, both used by residents of the surrounding housing areas.
