The court was built in the 1980s, covering an area of about 1300 square meters. Before upgrading, there were only two sand courts with old deteriorating facilities.

Through the investigation of surrounding residents, Qingzhen listed the court in its sports facilities renovation projects for 2021. Through the re-planning and design, 293,000 yuan ($46,238) of reconstruction funds were invested to build a standard gateball court, a badminton court, and a number of supporting facilities.

After the completion of the project, the service radius covers the surrounding Hongta community, Dongmenqiao village, Hongfeng Street, and a number of other areas, which was unanimously praised by the residents.

According to the 11 resident living circles, Qingzhen fully transformed sports and cultural facilities, such as multi-functional sports fields, intelligent fitness stations, and outdoor comprehensive fitness fields.

Combining with the actual needs of the residents, Qingzhen city constantly meets its citizens' fitness and spiritual needs to guarantee a better and healthier lifestyle.
