It is necessary to carry out a reasonable and balanced layout of sports parks based on factors such as development level, natural ecology, population size, and stock resources.

  At the same time, sports parks should be considered as an integral part of the urban green space system to promote the organic integration of sports park green spaces and fitness facilities.

Adhere to the green ecological background, the proportion of green land in sports parks to the park's land area shall not be less than 65%, make full use of the natural environment to create sports scenes, and promote the harmonious integration of fitness facilities and natural landscapes.

Sports parks should be organically integrated with production and living spaces. There should be no fixed ceilings or stands. Sports parks should not be used to replace sports parks. Sports parks should not be used to build characteristic towns or develop real estate projects in disguise, so as to avoid stadiumization and real estateization of sports parks. , Over-commercialization.

  Sports parks must have fitness trails and fitness plazas that meet the needs of middle-aged and elderly people, as well as regular ball venues and facilities such as football, basketball, and volleyball that meet the needs of young people, as well as activity facilities that meet the needs of children.

Where conditions permit, temporary, prefabricated ice, snow, and swimming facilities can be set up.
