Dongsi Olympic Community Park covers a total area of approximately 10,800 square meters. It creates a natural and vibrant green space through the use of large-scale trees and shrubs as well as seasonally varied plant arrangements. A series of Olympic-themed sculptures have been designed throughout the park to convey a lively Olympic spirit, making it a beautiful green landmark along the Second Ring Road in the eastern part of Beijing.
The theme of Olympic Community Park is friendship, unity, peace, faster, higher, stronger. The overall layout of the park is L-shaped. Based on the shape of the land parcel and its surrounding context, the park is divided into three main spaces: a linear urban open space on the east side, the semi-open Chaoyang Sacred Flame Main Square in the south, and a relatively enclosed transitional space on the west side. Within this not-so-large green area, the Olympic spirit is highlighted while also providing residents with a comfortable and pleasant recreational space.
