Construction
Initially called the Suzhou Industrial Park Sports Center, the construction site east of Jinji Lake was located within the Suzhou Industrial Park. The plan was for a 60 hectare facility to host a stadium, an indoor arena, an aquatics center and a commercial hub. The main stadium's architectural design is inspired from the traditional Chinese lantern design.[4][5] The main indoor arena was planned to have a seating capacity of 13,000. The sports center was scheduled to be opened to the public in 2018.[6] In February 2018, it was renamed as Suzhou Olympic Sports Center and open to public in June 30.[7]
