The open space which is situated circular around the basketball
stadium is divided
into an entrance square, a landscape park as well as areas for parking.
The entrance square, with its generous width, is able to absorb
and disperse streams of visitors on sport events. A loose tree roof
is the main theme and creates a playful pattern of light and shade
on the surface. Generously designed water basins mirror the architecture
and assign the transition to the grandstand areas. A scenic park
belt surrounds the stadium to the back. Leisure activities and recreational
exercises take place here.
Gently rolling paths, tracks for skaters and cyclists as well as
playgrounds and water swales are imbedded in a grove-like planting
and connect to the local recreation system of Dongguan.
