Ecological Leisure and Fitness Park

　　 Creating myths is something the people of Karamay are exceptionally good at — they built the most habitable city on the Gobi Desert amidst the cheers of oil gushing from the ancient wilderness, then went further to turn those myths into wonders. They brought streams of fresh water from afar to nourish the heart of the city, turned barren wilderness into fertile farmland, and transformed desolate Gobi land into green homes — this is the Ecological Leisure and Fitness Park.

　　The Ecological Leisure and Fitness Park is located between West Ring Road, Hongyan Road, and Yonghong Road. In front of the park’s main gate, there are several piles of bricks, stones, and sand, where seven workers are busy with construction. Upon entering through the gate, you’ll see a seven-a-side soccer field straight ahead, five sheltered covered tennis courts on the right, and eight basketball courts on the left, including two specially designed for children. At the time, two young men were playing basketball on the court.

　　It is understood that this newly built, exemplary sports park in Karamay not only offers activity areas for football, basketball, badminton, roller skating, and other sports favored by youths and children, but also provides walking paths, fitness squares, chess and card corridors, and outdoor fitness equipment for the elderly to enjoy recreational fitness.

　　In addition to the essential sports facilities of a sports park, green ecology is another highlight of the leisure and fitness park. Throughout the park, lush green lawns stretch as far as the eye can see, dotted with clusters of flowers such as marigolds that are carefully maintained. According to staff from the Karamay District Culture and Sports Bureau, the entire park covers an area of approximately 130,000 square meters, with green space accounting for about 62%.

　　According to the plan, the fitness park includes a Health Guidance Center equipped with instruments such as a body composition analyzer, cardiovascular (arteriosclerosis) tester, bone density tester, cardiopulmonary function tester (power bike), spine tester, balance ability tester, sub-health tester, blood pressure monitor, blood glucose analyzer, and a national physique testing system. Citizens can use these instruments to complete a full set of tests in about 20 minutes without the need for medical blood tests, ultimately obtaining personal body measurement and assessment data. Based on these test results, the computer software at the Health Guidance Center will automatically generate a suitable health and exercise guidance plan. It is understood that this function is suitable not only for individuals but also for overall group (organizational) analysis reports.

　　In addition, the Ecological Leisure and Fitness Park has one reception and service hall (including administrative offices), two sports venue service centers, one property management office, and two guard rooms.
