The Nanjing Sports Park, one of the largest athletic venue projects ever completed in Asia, was designed and built for the 10th China National Games in October 2005. The sports park includes a 60,000-seat stadium, 11,000-seat arena, natatorium, tennis centre, media centre and outdoor facilities for baseball, softball, hockey and basketball.
The sports park forms the centrepiece of a new downtown precinct development to the West of Nanjing. The primary concept of the sports park was to create a "people's palace", a multifunctional environment, a combination of world standard sporting facilities with the main stadium as the centerpiece within parkland.
The Nanjing Sports Park received a 2007 Gold Award from the International Association for Sports and Leisure Facilities (IAKS) and the International Olympic Committee (IOC).
