It is mostly used for bandy, soccer and track and field athletics, and serves as home ground for Jönköping Bandy IF's bandy team and Råslätts SK's soccer team. The artificial ice rink was opened on 15 January 1988.[2] There are plans to build a multi arena with an indoor bandy venue, originally thought to have been completed by 2009.
At Råslätts IP, international bandy games have been played between Sweden and Russia in 1993 (Swedish victory, 4-1) and 1997 (Swedish victory, 6-4).[3] The seating capacity is 3 000 spectators.[4]
