Dong’an Lake Sports Park contains one stadium and three gyms — a main stadium with a capacity of 40,000 people, an Aquatics Centre, a Multi-Purpose Gymnasium, and a Multi-Ball Game Gymnasium. It was the venue for the opening ceremony of the 31st Chengdu FISU World University Games. During the FISU Games, the bridge improved traffic efficiency, and stadiums and gyms were connected via the terrace. After the FISU Games, the bridge focuses on interactions with the public space and the playground, increasing accessibility and enriching the landscape.
The bridge forms various spatial and visual experiences while interacting with the public space. It extends out from the terrace of the stadium and gyms, forming a visual experience of different elevations during walking. The bridge spirals down to the centre of the site and surrounds the children’s playground, forming a space with a sense of enclosure. In the middle section, different height platforms are designed to create good viewpoints, and the entrance and exit lead to open spaces.
