Jhubei builds Taiwan’s first‘interstellar’ basketball courts
2024-06-26
Jhubei City in Hsinchu County has a population of 210,000, and nearly 60,000 of whom exercise regularly. Recently, Mayor Cheng Chao-fang decided to revamp Jhubei’s old basketball courts on Bo’ai South Road. Not only did they add a roof to protect the new courts from wind and rain, but they also chose the colors gray, brown, blue, and green to give them an interstellar feel. People who have used the new courts say they are bright and well-designed.

These are the basketball courts on Bo’Ai South Road, which are the most popular courts in Jhubei. Since they are used so often, they were showing signs of wear and tear, so Cheng applied for subsidies from the central government to renovate them.

Jhubei mayor
We are the first in Taiwan to design courts using an interstellar, technological concept. It’s designed to let light in, so playing sports here is really comfortable and refreshing. Many tech workers bring their kids here when they get off work. By renovating these courts, we can show our residents that we’re improving the city’s aesthetics.
Jhubei has a population of 210,000, and more than 57,000 exercise regularly, so there is high demand for sports venues. More than NT$40 million was spent renovating four old basketball courts using an interstellar, technological design. They added a roof to protect from the wind and rain, and incorporated a cool, metallic feeling by using a muted scheme. Many tech professionals and designers have praised the newly renovated courts.
Resident
I think it’s very bright. Overall, it feels great to play on. I think just having a large space isn’t very useful, but now the whole thing feels more professional.
Resident
It’s not bad. Hsinchu built some decent courts, and they should be proud.
Jhubei is also planning to build tennis courts in the future, filling this technological city with life and improving its look.

全台第一座! 竹北籃球場"星際風"科技感十足
2024-06-26
新竹縣竹北人口有21萬，其中高達近6萬人是規律運動人口，竹北市長鄭朝方，特別將原本老舊的博愛南球場翻新，不但加裝風雨棚架、還特別選用木蘭迪色系，讓整座球場充滿濃濃"星際風"，使用過的民眾都大讚球場明亮又好看，許多人更是下班就帶著小孩直衝球場打球。
竹北市長鄭朝方，換上球衣、親自下場，跟民眾來場激烈的籃球賽。
這裡是新竹竹北的"博愛南風雨球場"，是竹北使用率最高、最熱門場地，但因使用率高、導致地坪變形，市長鄭朝方特別向中央申請補助，成功將籃球場翻新。

“我們是全台灣第一座以星際科技的概念，來做的特色風雨球場。透光的設計，所以在這裡打球，可以說是非常非常的舒服很爽快，所以可以看到很多科技人，一下班就帶著自己的孩子來，透過這個球場，可以來向我們的市民朋友展示，對於這座城市美學的推動”
竹北共21萬人口，統計有高達5萬7千多人是規律運動人口，運動場地需求高。翻新資金共耗費4千多萬，將原本老舊的4座球場翻修，採科技星際意象設計、加蓋風雨棚架，金屬冷感搭配木蘭迪色系設計，讓許多竹北科技人和設計師，都讚不絕口。

“我覺得很明亮，然後我覺得整體讓我覺得比較舒適，因為我覺得場地空大沒什麼用，反而是讓整體它專業一點的感覺”

“還不錯，就是新竹做了一個比較像樣的球場，得意的這樣子”
未來竹北還會打造另座網球場，讓這座科技城不只充滿活力、更兼顧環境美學。
