As the first sports park of China, Hongkew Park was mainly intended to hold sports activities. Since the park was converted into Lu Xun Park, the memory of its sports function gradually faded. After the sports venue and facilities in Hongkew Park were put under the administration of other agencies, the grand occasion of sports activities in the park was forgotten. Therefore, this paper attempts to collect relevant material from local Chronicles, government documents, newspapers and periodicals, as well as other historical literature, so as to reconstruct the lively scene of holding sports activities in HongKew park when it was used as a sports park during various periods, and to reveal the influence of sports on the development of the park in the modern and contemporary eras. |
