Malu Town is betting a lot on an integrated sports center

A new sports and cultural center is coming to Jiading Districts Malu town.

The Eryuanli project is located at 2438 Baoan Highway and covers approximately 70 mu (4.67 hectares) in three phases.

The total investment of the first phase, covering 22 million euros, is about 10 million yuan ($1.4 million).

The first phase consists of a soccer field, an outdoor basketball court and four retractable tennis courts. It includes a reception center with a number of amenities including a cafeteria, changing rooms, bathrooms and a clinic. It is supposed to start trial use by the end of July.

The second phase is still in the planning phase. Five existing warehouses will be converted into public sports facilities, which may include basketball, badminton and table tennis courts, gyms and specialist sports such as indoor golf, fencing and kickboxing.

Construction of the second phase will begin in 2025, with an investment of 30-50 million yuan.

The third phase is likely to cover about 15 MU, cost 20-30 million yuan and include a theater, surfing and skiing simulators, and an ice rink.

Once all three phases are completed, the Eryuanli Sports and Culture Center will be equipped to meet the community’s growing demands for wellness and fitness, and will become a base for local young athletes.
