Health is a state of well-being in physical, social, and mental aspects, not just being free from disease. Indonesia’s human health level in general is considered low compared to other countries and needs to be developed. Some of the determining factors are lifestyle and supporting environment. Healthy lifestyles lead to a healthier life, with one of them being physically active. Based on World Health Organization recommendations, most Indonesians are lacking healthy physical activities. These problems are caused by numerous factors, including the lack of supporting environment. Whether physical or not, supporting environment plays a role in increasing community’s physical activity. Physical environment availabilities, accessibilities, and facilities can support and inhibit people’s desire for physical activities. Physical environment in the form of sports facilities is considered influencing people’s interest in exercising. As an effort to create a physical environment that supports and increases the physical activity of the community, an idea was initiated, which is to design a sports center in South Tangerang to increase community physical activity. The location of the site is determined based on the limitations of sports facilities in the site area and its surroundings. The main purpose of the design is a sports facility that is able to attract visitors for physical activities. To realize this goal, design issues were formulated, namely the realization of active design, inclusivity, and space flexibility. Based on consideration of the design and location of the site, the design of sports facilities is prioritized to realize active visitor circulation and the creation of sports facilities that are attractive to visitors.
