– 10 sports equipment are created (Elliptical trainer, abs bench, traction rack, etc.)

– 36 spaces for cars are removed

– 50 bicycle hoops will be created (in addition to the 15 existing bicycle hoops, so there will be 65 in total)

– 18 scooter spaces maintained

Fun and sports facilities:

– Floor markings for children
