It is good to see that today more people have realized the importance of exercising and are playing sports regularly. But the problem is that there are not enough sports facilities to meet the public's growing demand. I love playing basketball and often play with my friends on weekends. However, it is difficult to rent a basketball field and near impossible to find a free one. It seems that all courts in the city are always full. Weather permitted, we could play in outdoors in spaces such as parks. But on rainy days or in winter we have to turn to indoor courts. There are not many in my city, and the charge is high. China should build more public sports facilities, so easier access will encourage people to participate in sports.
