Revitalization Of Sports Facilities In Jakarta Supports Healthy Lifestyle

JAKARTA - The DKI Jakarta Youth and Sports Agency announced plans to gradually revitalize sports facilities throughout the city. The purpose of this revitalization is to improve sports facilities and infrastructure so that they are more in line with the needs of the community.

One of the facilities that have been renovated is the Bulungan indoor tennis court, which was inaugurated to coincide with the implementation of the 2024 Pinktober Tennis Tournament.

Head of the DKI Jakarta Youth and Sports Agency, Andri Yansyah, explained that the renovation of this indoor tennis court includes repairing the roof of the membrane and adding toilets. This renovation project takes four months, and is expected to provide comfort for people who want to exercise.

This facility is not only for the convenience of playing tennis, but also for supporting a healthy lifestyle for Jakarta residents. We hope that the public can maintain and care for this facility so that it remains comfortable to use," said Andri at the inauguration.

This indoor tennis court is one of two available fields, with an outdoor field that is also ready for use. Andri hopes that with this facility, athletes can train better and achieve achievements at the national and international levels.

Meanwhile, the Director of Pinktober Tennis Tournament 2024, Wanda Jane, revealed the high enthusiasm of participants in the tournament aimed at this woman. With time and field limitations, the committee was forced to limit the number of participants to 40 pairs who will compete in round robin format.

At first we doubted the number of participants, but the incredible enthusiasm forced us to limit registration. We are very happy to see the amount of participation, "explained Wanda.

This tournament was held to increase awareness of breast cancer, and was supported by the Indonesian Breast Cancer Foundation (YKPI). Endang Moenanti from YKPI emphasized the importance of regular breast examination, especially in the early stages of disease, through a sustainable campaign.

"Through this tournament, we hope that people will care more about breast cancer and prioritize a healthy lifestyle. Breast cancer can be cured if detected from an early age," added Endang.

With revitalization and activities such as this tournament, the DKI Jakarta Youth and Sports Office is committed to facilitating the community in adopting a healthy lifestyle through sports,
