Where is the Park?

We believe most people love parks. Wouldn’t it be great if the parks were just one corner away?

In Nanhai, there are many new parks that have combined leisure with fitness functions built in the communities.

Now let us show you one by one.

Houlang Basketball Court

Not long ago, the Houlang basketball court in Nanhai Vanke Plaza was officially opened. The basketball court occupies an area of 600 square meters, with 2 ball racks, equipped with sinks, benches, lights, etc. There is also a viewing area in the park, which is convenient for spectators to watch the game and players to rest.

Hou Lang means literally rising waves in Chinese. It usually refers to the younger generation. The basketball court is named Houlang in the hope that the young generations can brave the wind and the waves and be strong.

All the graffiti there is hand-painted. Take a bird’s eye view, the basketball themed graffiti on the floor is particularly eye-catching. In order to match the name of the court, there are also exquisite wave patterns, which bring vitality to our face.

The Houlang basketball court is the outdoor basketball court built in the highest standard in Foshan at the moment. It is the first outdoor basketball court in Foshan to use the Olympic-designated sports floor (Enlio SES court series).

In the future, the Houlang basketball court will successively host three-point shooting contests, three-person basketball leagues and other events. At the same time, the basketball court is open to the public free of charge one day a week to create a better environment for the public to participate in the national fitness activities.
