After four years' construction started in 2014, the commercial plaza and natatorium at SZOSC formally came into service on June 30, becoming the first SZOSC components opened to the public. 

The 100,000-sqm plaza is a shopping and amusement paradise, while the 47,000-sqm modern natatorium boasts not only high-standard swimming pools but also many other facilities for people who fancy table tennis, rock climbing, tennis and badminton among other sports.

With a total floor area of nearly 380,000 sqm, SZOSC is a multifunctional complex for sports events, art performances, recreational activities and business. It is the only facility of its kind in Suzhou and the country's first garden-like sports complex and first ecological sports park applying smart management technologies. The construction is now in its final stage, and a gymnasium and a stadium will be put into use in September and October.
