The Chengdu Universiade is here
On the evening of July 18th, the basketball court in Shiguang Park, Binjiang Community, Huayang Street, Tianfu New Area, Sichuan, was bustling with people. The opening ceremony of the 10th National Fitness Games and the launch ceremony of the 2023 Chengdu Street Basketball Competition Tianfu New Area Station were held here, attracting nearly a thousand citizens to stop and watch. More than 10 amateur basketball teams were selected layer by layer.
"Unexpectedly, after being renovated, Shiguang Park has not only become an excellent place for us to take a walk after meals, but also to enjoy such wonderful competitions." Zeng Qi, who lives in Huayang, sighed. The wasteland at the intersection of the river and municipal roads has become a popular community sports corner in the strong atmosphere of "Love Chengdu and Welcome the Universiade" national fitness.
The reporter noticed that the sports facilities here are rich, including a 400 meter fitness trail, standard basketball court, badminton court, table tennis table, square dance area, as well as a childlike amusement area, a high-tech intelligent fitness area, and a trendy skateboard sports belt. This not only meets the fitness needs of citizens of all ages, but also creates conditions for the street community to hold small sports games and festivals.
Chengdu vigorously promotes the construction of park cities, allowing people to enjoy a happy life of "entering the park as soon as they go out". Especially in Chengdu, sports venues have been implanted into parks, promoting sports and fitness to penetrate communities and take to the streets, allowing citizens to enjoy the competition activities below the office building and at the entrance of the community, and feel the vitality and passion of street trend sports. The atmosphere of welcoming the Universiade and moving forward has deeply integrated into this park city.
It takes a 15 minute drive from Shiguang Park to reach the shore of Xinglong Lake. Wang Wei, who lives in Chengdu MixC, just finished an hour long kayaking experience with his son. He said, "My son is on summer vacation and came specifically to experience water sports. Immersive experience of the ecological beauty of Xinglong Lake on the boat is so comfortable!"
Xinglong Lake is located in the center of Tianfu Science City in Tianfu New Area, with a water area of 4500 acres. It is a large park that integrates sightseeing, leisure, flood control, irrigation, and ecology. In March of this year, the "2023 Xinglong Lake Cup · Green Water and Green Mountains China Leisure Sports Challenge" hosted by the Water Sports Management Center of the General Administration of Sport of China and other units opened in Xinglong Lake, further enhancing its influence in the field of water sports. Afterwards, a series of water sports experiences such as kayaking, sailing, and dragon boat racing during the Dragon Boat Festival, as well as events, took turns at Xinglong Lake, attracting a large number of people to come and experience and watch the competition.
It is reported that Tianfu New Area vigorously creates a strong atmosphere of "Love Chengdu and Welcome the Universiade" national fitness, plans and organizes a series of mass sports events, not only including traditional sports such as foot and basket volleyball, but also introducing emerging trendy sports such as dragon boat, rowing, and frisbee. Market entities and social organizations are encouraged to hold various unique national fitness activities and incorporate them into the sports meet system, effectively enhancing the radiation and participation of the sports meet.
"There are competitions every month, and each competition has its own characteristics." The relevant person in charge of the Cultural and Creative Bureau and Exhibition Bureau of Tianfu New Area in Sichuan said that the related competitions and activities will continue until December, highlighting the importance of national competitions and participation, making the sports meet a popular activity for the people to participate in.
