SDG 3.3.3 Shared sports facilities
For many years, NCUE has provided local community residents with shared sports facilities to enhance the atmosphere of legitimate leisure sports and improve the quality of sports teaching and management. We combine community resources to promote national fitness, expand students’ knowledge, and improve personality development. NCUE provides the following sports facilities:
1. NCUE’s indoor and outdoor sports facilities and the track and field are free for school teachers, students, and the community. Every morning and evening, community residents enter the track and field to exercise. In the evening, there may be female dance clubs in a corner of the track and field to practice dancing. In addition, there are three outdoor basketball courts and two volleyball courts on the top floor of the tennis court, which attract many visitors to play sports at night and on holidays. The senior residents also stretch and warm up on the uneven bars and horizontal and parallel bars under the nearby trees. The indoor facilities, such as badminton courts, and multi-purpose courts, are free for use by teachers and students after application, and available for use by external residents after payment of charges. The courts are also available for use by community residents or off-campus groups for sports competitions during holidays. The sports center’s ground is attached. The sports venue facility management rules and charging standards for each venue and facility are described in Annex 3.3.3A and Annex 3.3.3B.
2. The 1st floor of the Wang Jinping Activity Center is an open space, named Lakeside Plaza as it is close to the Baisha Lake, a scenic spot on campus. The students and community residents often exercise in the shade and ample space, including gymnastics, dancing, rope skipping, etc. In addition, we have set up the U-First sports professional guidance service group, and since 2020, we have invested in the University Social Responsibility Hub (USR Hub) - Training Cardiac Muscle Power for a Happy Life in Northern Changhua: Enjoying Sports Project, and implemented the Free Scientific Physical Fitness Test in cooperation with the Sports Administration of the Ministry of Education. The test subjects are the school’s faculty, staff, students, and residents of neighboring communities. The plan helps individuals understand their physiology and physical fitness, and then choose suitable exercises for physical training. Meanwhile, the project encourages elderly people in the community to participate in more sports activities, starting with simple warm-up exercises, so as to lead senior residents in the community to enjoy their workout, and continue to maintain good exercise habits.
3. NCUE’s swimming pool is a rented venue with Hsin Tong Hsiang Enterprise Co., Ltd., as the lessee, and is available for teachers, students, and the community after payment of charges.
4. The outdoor sports facilities on the Baoshan campus cover volleyball courts, basketball courts, tennis courts, and football fields, while the indoor facilities include billiards classrooms and weight training rooms. In addition to the tennis courts, all outdoor facilities are available for free use by school teachers, students, and the community. For example, the football field has become a gathering place for nearby softball players to practice on weekends and holidays. The basketball and volleyball courts also attract many young residents. Meanwhile, many residents enjoy walking in groups on the campus trails, with climbing exercise and absorbing phytoncides. The tennis courts and indoor facilities are only free for use by teachers and students after application.
