Exercising in a better environment

SPORTS facilities and jogging tracks have been mushrooming in Jiading, and careful planning ensures that local residents enjoy a better environment while they exercise.

There are currently 22 community sports fields in the district. Beishuiwan Community Sports Field, which occupies an area of 2,500 square meters, not only attracts sports fans because of its facilities but also its view of the 50,000 square meters of round-the-city greenbelt.

"I can smell the wonderful fragrance of green grass while having a rest beside the soccer field," said 35-year-old Qian Haohua.

In Malu Park a 450-meter red plastic jogging track, stretching through the woods planted by magnolia and cherry trees and bamboo, is a favorite for the runners.

Jogging tracks began to appear in the district from 2011 in the parks and greenbelts covered with runner-friendly materials. So far there are 15 jogging tracks in Jiading, covering all the towns and sub-district communities.

In Nanxiang and Anting towns another five jogging tracks are to be set up this year to improve facilities for local residents.

Jiading is also planning to set up bicycle renting facilities and cycling tracks around the old town area. In Jiading New Town, there are plans for a large sports and leisure park.
