Yunzhu Sports and Cultural Park is the first fire-service-themed park among Chongqing's ninety-two corner-community sports parks, designed by Daohe Design for Chongqing Planning and Natural Resources Bureau and Chongqing Hi-tech Group. It sits near Yucheng Road in the Yuelai group of the Liangjiang New Area, surrounded by future residential, welfare, elderly-housing, primary-school, and industrial plots that will make this area the core Yuelai living district once built. The 8,038-square-meter site, roughly 101 by 81 meters, has shallow-hill terrain divided into three platforms with an elevation change of about 17 meters. The design had to resolve earth balancing, translate serious fire-safety knowledge into engaging design language, and inject a fire-service spirit that encourages participation. The strategy respects the original terrain while flattening sports fields, concentrating earthwork in the children's play area to create a flat yet active and passive park. An original IP mascot, Xiaoxiao, builds a highly participatory fire-escape education route, and a decommissioned fire truck is placed in the plaza to inject fire-service spirit, augmented by an AR interactive game screen. The result combines sports fields with fire-safety education, including a fire-culture plaza, a child-fire-self-rescue interactive experience zone, and an accessible loop running track. The color system is dominated by flame blue, the hottest part of a flame and the color of Chinese firefighter uniforms, accented with the red and orange of fire equipment; blue and orange are complementary colors, producing a youthful vibrancy. The decommissioned foam truck, Chongqing Fire SWAT 3-05, served the city for more than twenty years on countless emergency calls; its faded paint, worn factory badges, fallen interior light racks, and rusted roof foam nozzles tell its history. It was repainted, preserved, and its interior converted into park operations space. The children's zone abandons rigid themed display in favor of high-participation, interactive fire-escape experiences, including flip-panel fire-knowledge games, tunnels, climbing, sliding, a fire-themed spinning wheel, rope climbing tied to fire knots, and cooperative play that supports role-play and releases children's energy. The adult zone offers a loop track, standard basketball and badminton courts, and table tennis. The park is part of Chongqing's City Enhancement Action Plan, delivering windows-on-green, out-door-scenery, and four-season flowers while repairing urban scars and creating green space.
