Shanghai Citizen Sports Park is to settle in Jiading, authorities announced at a meeting held by the standing committee of Shanghai municipal committee.
The park is set to locate in the south of Yining Road, and cover an area of 280 square kilometers.
The park will be divided into several sections themed on different sports. Its soccer park project will be the first to start construction later this year.
The soccer park will consist of an eleven-a-side soccer pitch, a five-a-side soccer pitch, a rugby field, footpaths, and other supporting facilities.
According to officials, the soccer park, aimed at serving local citizens, is designed to be a sports entertainment site with fully-fledged sports facilities.
It will combine soccer sports in a natural environment, creating a unique place for exercise on the soccer pitches, running tracks, squares, and green landscapes.
