Shanghai's biggest sports park opened in Yangpu District on
Tuesday.
The 2.4-hectare Huangxing Sports Park has nine "caged football
fields," or fields surrounded by high fences, two standard football
fields, six basketball courts, two tennis courts and a baseball
field. Three hundred people can use the facilities at the same time
and it can host 300,000 visitors a year.
The park will open free to the public on the first Monday of
every month. It will also open as a public welfare service during
half its operating hours on other days.
Twenty professional coaches have been hired to teach at the
park. It is at the crossroad of Guoshun Road E. and Shuangyang
Road.
