Advocating for Outdoor Sports and Physical Activity
Across the globe, there's a growing trend of making outdoor sports areas accessible to the public. What drives this trend? Often, the utilization of sports facilities falls short of its full potential.
While athletes typically use outdoor sports areas in the evenings, these spaces often remain unused during off-peak hours. We believe in creating a win-win situation by opening up sports areas to everyone and optimizing the use of sports facilities during these underutilized times.
Let's make the most of our outdoor spaces to promote physical activity and sports participation for all.
Enhancing Public Spaces for Health and Community
When communities come together for socializing, play, or exercise, it's crucial to support a healthy lifestyle by providing diverse arrival options—whether it's jogging, cycling, riding a kick scooter, or any mode other than a car. To facilitate this, public spaces require well-equipped facilities such as secure bicycle parking, litter bins for disposing of snack wrappers, and benches where visitors can comfortably place their jackets or water bottles.
