Årsta is a district in Uppsala, Sweden, located in the east of the city, between Gränbystaden and Fyrislund, with Årstaparken as the approximate center. The area contains both apartment blocks, row homes and single family homes. The central square, Årsta Centrum, contains among other things a supermarket, and a health centre. The facilitys has been upgraded in recent years, but at the same time shops and community services have been reduced. The is currently slated to be redeveloped, with newly built housing and commercial spaces, as part of wider development of the nearby area known as Östra Sala Backe. Before 1970, the district was near-urban countryside with sparser settlements, horticulture and cornfields. Today, the area consists of several styles of development, including 6 story apartment blocks along Fyrislundsgatan, with the eastern half mainly consisting of two story condominium associations and the western half single family homes. Along Fyrislundsgatan, which forms the border to Sala Backe, there used to run a powerline which since has been removed, creating a large, empty grassy strip. The area, now known as Östra Sala Backe, is being developed as a high density mixed-use area. Årsta was planned according to a model that was common in the 1970s, with the aim of completely separating car traffic from the built-up area. As there are no through streets, all transport by motor vehicle must take place on the periphery of the area. The district is built so that it frames a larger, centrally located park area (Årstaparken). There is a network of pedestrian and cycle paths that connect homes with the area's center and schools without crossing car streets. Two pedestrian and bicycle tunnels under Fyrislundsgatan have connected them in the direction of the city centre and Gränby. With housing starting to be built along the former power line since 2015, one tunnel has been rebuilt from scratch and the other will disappear. Årsta is named after the village "Aristu", mentioned as early as 1344. The prefix "Ari" is here a man's name, and the suffix "-sta" is Old Swedish, with the meaning stadher, "place or area". Immediately north of Årsta is the medieval Vaksala Church with its tall spire, clearly visible from many places in the district. Near Årsta Centrum there's also a local church, Årstakyrkan.

The slope where the arena is planned is thought to function as an dwelling place for newts during winter and is therefore included in a consideration zone (Swedish: hänsynsområde) for newts. Number of small dams have been built in the area previously to avoid the already threatened newts from disappearing from the zone.Although the arena, as its current name suggests, was intended to be used for other activities than sports, it has since been decided in August 2018 that the arena will only be designed and used for sports.
