When it comes to outdoor fitness, the prime sports destination in western Beijing is undoubtedly Shougang Park. Now, put on your sports attire and burn off some calories there!

Here, you can find peace of mind on your bike. The park features cycling paths designed for safety and comfort with speed limits strictly enforced on internal roads, and minimal motor vehicle traffic. Clear signs and road markings can be seen everywhere to help you navigate effortlessly and visit scenic spots along the way. A great number of shared bicycles are available both inside and around the park, ready for use with a simple scan. Cycling stations are also available within the park, offering drinking water and light meals.

You can also enjoy a leisurely waterfront stroll. On a winter afternoon, take a walk along the Yongding River path past the Gongbei Pavilion, immerse yourself in the riverside atmosphere, gaze into the distance at the New Shougang Bridge, and even spot the rare sight of green grass in winter. If you grow tired of the riverside scenery, follow the elevated walkway for a walk "in the clouds", which offers an aerial view of the entire old industrial park.

Looking for something a bit more challenging? At Shougang Infinite Park, located at the northernmost tip of Shougang Park, you can try out a professional-level skateboarding facility designed for the 2025 Beijing TOP International Skateboarding Open. For greater excitement, try rock climbing and rappelling here. This area also houses a free outdoor basketball court and a wargame arena.

Safety Reminder: Always wear proper protective gear, and know your limits.
