Anting town in Shanghai's Jiading district has recently completed the renovation of 14 public fitness locations and built a new one.
The new fitness location is located at the nursing home in Lianxi village. A regular visitor surnamed Zhang expressed his satisfaction with the improvements. "In the past, all I could do was dancing to the music, but now I feel more energetic after using this new equipment every morning," he said.
The renovations also took into account the needs of children. A resident surnamed Jiang in the Yuyi community said she appreciates the addition of a seesaw for children. "The original fitness equipment was meant for adults, but this renovation has made it child-friendly as well."
Anting town has been focusing on improving mass sports facilities in recent years, and the renovation of fitness locations is a part of this project.
There are currently 15 courses, 139 fitness locations, and 20 fitness trails in Anting. In addition to renovating the fitness locations, plans are underway to build a new smart fitness location and renovate three fitness trails. These efforts aim to further enhance the "15-minute sports fitness circle" and cater to the diversified fitness needs of residents.
