CHONGQING (CQNEWS) -- Recently, the question of whether “large sports venues can offer more free access” has sparked widespread discussion. Many citizens have suggested that some sports venues and community sports parks should flexibly adjust their free access hours to allow different groups to participate in exercise.

According to a representative from Datianwan National Fitness Center, they have taken the relevant reports seriously. To further enhance the benefits for the public and encourage more people to engage in fitness activities, Datianwan has optimized the free and low-cost access hours and pricing standards for several venues, with the new adjustments implemented on October 28.

Under the new schedule, Datianwan Stadium (indoor arena) will be open daily from 06:30 to 22:00. On weekdays, free access hours will be from 06:30 to 22:00 every Monday, from 06:30 to 17:00 from Tuesday to Friday, and from 06:30 to 12:00 on weekends and public holidays.

Datianwan Stadium (outdoor area) will have free access hours from 06:00 to 22:30 each day; the outdoor table tennis area will be open for free from 06:00 to 22:00; the outdoor gate-ball court will be available for free from 08:00 to 16:00; and the outdoor basketball courts (fields 4 and 5) will be free from 06:30 to 09:00. Additionally, the outdoor tennis courts and the outdoor tennis courts of the municipal gym will have their fees uniformly reduced to 30 yuan per hour per court on weekdays from 08:00 to 10:00.

After the adjustments, Datianwan Stadium will offer nearly 70 hours of free access each week, significantly exceeding that “not less than 35 hours” specified in the Basic Public Service Standards for Public Sports Venues, fully covering peak fitness times for morning and evening exercises.
