City鈥檚 first soccer park taking shape
Print Edition
Shanghai鈥檚 first soccer park is coming up in Jiading.
The first phase of the Shanghai Citizen鈥檚 Sports Park near the Shanghai International Circuit will be completed by March 2019.
The park will take up an area of 420,000 square meters and will have 18 standard soccer pitches and 32 half-size pitches. It will also include 25 basketball courts with a greenery cover of over 30 percent.
鈥淭he site was originally a piece of abandoned farmland with several creeks and roads,鈥 said Zhu Tieliang, the group鈥檚 project manager in charge of the park.
The creeks and several roads will be retained to separate the venues, Zhu said. About 5,600 square meters of structures will be built inside the park that will serve as offices and toilets.
Plans for the second and later phases of the park are yet to be worked out, but will include other sports sites, Zhu said.
The park will encourage more people to take up sports as an activity, the city government said, and improve their life and health.
After completion, it will become one of the major sports centers in the city. The city government said it plans to encourage nearly half of the local residents to take part in sports regularly by 2020.
Work on other sports venues is also on full swing. They include Xujiahui Sports Park, Pudong Soccer Court and Chongming National Sports Training Base, while a basketball arena, a horse-riding park, a sailing training base and a cycling center are also in the pipeline.
