Increase the supply of public fitness facilities. Currently, China's community 15-minute fitness circle has been basically realized.
The State Council Information Office held a series of themed press conference this morning on "High-quality completion of the '14th Five-Year Plan'," introducing the achievements of building a strong sports country during the "14th Five-Year Plan" period. It was introduced that currently, the 15-minute community fitness circle in China has been basically realized, and the demand of the masses for conducting fitness activities according to local conditions and convenience with the help of venue facilities has been basically met. During the "14th Five-Year Plan" period, activities such as "National Ball into the Community" and "National Ball into the Park" were actively carried out. In nearly 20,000 old communities and more than 5,000 urban parks, over 170,000 sets of small and diverse fitness facilities such as table tennis tables were built, transforming old communities into vibrant communities and upgrading urban parks into sports parks. Actively promoting the transformation of waste into treasure, seizing every opportunity, fitness facilities have been built in parks, green spaces, under bridges, old factories, and other spaces with a total area of over 40,000 square meters in more than 1,300 sports parks completed and put into use by the end of 2024, making "no sports, no park" a new trend in fitness for the masses. During the "14th Five-Year Plan" period, the government invested a total of 56.5 billion yuan, supporting public sports facilities to be open to the public free of charge or at low cost. In 2025, nearly 1,500 county-level administrative areas in China were granted subsidies for 3,370 venues, making the opening of public sports facilities a new norm. The number of people participating in sports and regular exercise has continued to increase, injecting continual drive and vitality into economic and social development as well as the construction of a healthy China.
