The Gongshu Canal Sports Park Gymnasium is a multipurpose stadium built for the 2022 Asian Games. The centre covers 58,395 square meters, has a floor area of 8,697 square meters and seats 6,928.[1] It was completed in 2021.[2] It is intended to host table tennis events during the games and paralympic games and serve as a performing arts center after the games end.
The gymnasium's irregular oval shape is inspired by the jade cong[3] from Liangzhu culture. Its shape combines seating schemes of sports arenas and amphitheaters, to convert the gymnasium into an event space after the games.[4] It features steel and glass diagrid walls resembling fish scales.[5]
The gymnasium passed the 2022 Asian Games acceptance criteria in November 2021.[6]
Though the 2022 Asian Games were delayed from September 2022 to October 2023, the gymnasium was opened to the public in July 2022.[7] It has since received over 10,000 visitors.
During the Asian Games, the gymnasium will host table tennis and breakdancing events.[8]
