长春奥林匹克体育中心

Changchun Olympic Sports Centre, also known as Changchun Olympic Park, lies in the Beihu science and technology development zone of Changchun New Area, bounded by Xinsheng Avenue to the south and Zhongke Street to the east. The park covers 527,600 square metres in total, with a first phase of 318,300 square metres and 170,000 square metres of floor area, 155,000 above ground and 15,000 below. It was the largest public sports investment of Changchun's twelfth five-year plan. The park comprises a stadium and three halls. The central stadium has 66,500 square metres of floor area and a design capacity of 31,684 seats, made up of 300 VIP seats, 224 box seats, 64 accessible seats and 31,096 ordinary seats, with other sources citing 34,300; its field is a standard football pitch inside a 400-metre track. The gymnasium covers 35,640 square metres with 9,197 seats, and its main floor converts between indoor single-sport events and an ice rink, with one backup court each for volleyball, basketball and handball. The natatorium has more than 3,000 seats on two sides. The fitness centre covers 31,946 square metres and contains badminton, tennis, table tennis and archery areas. The master plan follows a theme of stars around the moon, with the stadium at the centre and the other halls radiating outwards so that the layout reads from above as an open clivia flower, the city's emblem, while the architecture draws on the forests of the Changbai mountains. The opening ceremony of Jilin's 18th Provincial Games was held here on 11 September 2018, and the park opened fully to the public on 21 May 2021 under the operator Aofei Sports and Culture Group, with an Aofei fitness club on the natatorium's second floor. The site is close to an expressway entrance, reachable by rail transit and bus, has over a thousand parking spaces and is about ten minutes by car from Beihu national wetland park.
