Venues in the park will host table tennis, break dancing and hockey competitions for the Hangzhou Asian Games and table tennis and blind football competitions for the Hangzhou Asian Para Games.

The table tennis and break dancing venues are located in the southern part of the park and have a capacity of 6,900 seats, while the northern part incorporates the hockey and blind football fields and has a capacity of 5,000 seats.
