Providing Public Access to Shared Sports Facilities for the Local Community

NTU regularly shares its sports facilities with the local community as part of its commitment to promoting public access, physical activity, health promotion, community well-being, and lifelong participation in sports. NTU encourages community participation by providing accessible sports facilities for students, staff, local residents, local schools, community organizations, and the general public, supporting regular recreational exercise, sports training, and health-promoting activities throughout the year.
 

NTU maintains a wide range of indoor and outdoor sports facilities, including an outdoor athletic track, baseball field, basketball courts, volleyball courts, tennis courts, swimming pool, fitness facilities, and the NTU Sports Center. These shared community facilities support recreational sports, physical exercise, sports education, community programs, sporting events, and inclusive recreation. Together with the outdoor athletic track, which is regularly open to the public whenever it is not reserved for university activities, these facilities are shared with local schools, community organizations, sports associations, and external groups through ongoing community engagement and scheduled use.

The outdoor athletic track provides continuous public access for nearby residents to walk, jog, and exercise on a regular basis, fostering healthy lifestyles beyond the campus community. Through sharing campus sports resources and maintaining accessible spaces for physical activity, NTU encourages community participation, promotes active lifestyles, and supports the health and well-being of surrounding communities.

By providing continuous public access, supporting regular community use, and promoting inclusive participation in sports and recreation, NTU advances active lifestyles, physical health, community well-being, and social inclusion. Through sharing campus sports resources with people of all ages, the University strengthens long-term university–community partnerships while contributing to healthier, more active, and more inclusive communities.
