Jiangsu plans to add 50 sports parks or squares and 500 kilometers of fitness trails this year as part of ongoing efforts to support the national fitness program.
Last year, Jiangsu ranked among the top provinces in China with a per capita area of sports venues reaching 3.48 square meters. The province has been committed to improving fitness facilities and conditions. Continuing these efforts, Jiangsu will focus on building well-lit sports fields, opening neighborhood gyms, and offering workout spaces that are friendly to the elderly people. Additionally, the plan includes supporting 100 stadiums to open to the public for free or with low entrance fees.
In addition to improving sports facilities, the province has also organized a series of events to encourage public participation in health and fitness activities. Last year, the number of sports events with more than 50 participants reached 13,000. In 2023, Jiangsu aims to successfully host the fourth sports-for-all online program, the first provincial community-based games, and the provincial session of the ninth National Public Snow and Ice Season. The province will also support sports matches between villages or clubs at various levels.
