It's normal to feel dissatisfied with the sound coming out of the stadium, but is there something irrational about the way the parties vent?
As a public sports facility, basketball courts provide more convenience for the fitness needs of the masses. Preventing others by tearing the court by hand will not solve the problem from the root cause, but will only intensify conflicts and even be suspected of damaging public facilities.
It is a wise choice to communicate with the relevant person in charge, negotiate the opening hours of the venue or the relocation of the venue to solve the problem in a more peaceful way, or even resort to the law.

In fact, there are not a few cases in which the conflict between the basketball court disturbing the people is resolved through negotiation.
In September 2021, a resident of Beiyu Xingcheng Community, Tiansheng Street, Beibei District, Chongqing City was also troubled by noise from the basketball court.

It is reported that the basketball court is less than 2 meters away from the unit building where he lives. The noise of the basketball hitting the ground on the court and the noise of the players have affected his normal life.
According to the "Environmental Noise Pollution Prevention and Control Law of the People's Republic of China" and other regulations, the resident explained his situation through the Chongqing online political platform.

On the third day after the "help post" was published, the Beibei Branch of the Chongqing Public Security Bureau responded.
"According to the local police of Tiansheng Police Station, there is a basketball court between Buildings 33 and 34 of Luneng North Yuxingcheng Community, which is open from 9:00 am to 21:00 pm. The police have contacted the person in charge of Luneng Property and suggested that Luneng Property Research Adjust the opening hours of the basketball court to ensure normal lunch and night breaks for residents of the buildings surrounding the basketball court."
Through communication, the basketball court can adjust the opening time, which not only meets the needs of sports personnel, but also relieves the resident's troubles.

In fact, in the above two incidents, there is also a common point, that is, the distance between the basketball court and the residential building is too close.
Coincidentally, residents who previously lived near the basketball court in Xiyuan Community, Kaifeng City, Henan Province took the relevant parties to court because they could not bear the noise of playing basketball.
In January 2022, the People's Court of Gulou District, Kaifeng City found out that because the basketball court is relatively close to residential buildings, the noise generated by the completed basketball court will have an adverse impact on the lives of nearby residents. The subject shall bear the corresponding civil liability.
In accordance with Article 120 of the Civil Code of the People's Republic of China, Articles 2 and 61 of the Law of the People's Republic of China on the Prevention and Control of Environmental Noise Pollution, and Article 67 of the Civil Procedure Law of the People's Republic of China, the construction unit shall be judged on 20 days after the judgment takes effect. Demolition within days.

It is undeniable that the root cause of the farce of "tear the basketball court by hand" is the distance between the basketball court and the residential buildings.
Many cases have also sounded the alarm for the planning and construction of sports facilities. While accelerating the construction of fitness venues, relevant departments need to make great efforts in venue selection.
How to make a reasonable layout of the venue location, but also need to consider the overall situation.
Through preliminary investigation and other means, to ensure that the site and the residential area maintain a certain distance, and to strengthen the later management, unnecessary conflicts can be avoided.
All in all, the good intentions of promoting national fitness should not do "bad things" that disturb the people.
