Several design projects have been added to sports fields ahead of the Paris 2024 Games, serving as an incentive for sporting activities in public areas.
Have you heard of active design? The focus is on designing public spaces that make physical activity and sports more accessible to those who are least engaged with it.
A number of active design projects were completed prior to the Olympic and Paralympic Games. They are all part of the Games legacy.

The project is a result of a joint initiative by Plaine Commune and the City of Paris and aims to reconnect the Charles Hermite district in Paris and the Diderot-Montjoie district in Saint-Denis, overcoming the boundaries of the ring road. The aim is to develop and artistically enhance the urban aesthetics of the two neighborhoods, to encourage physical activity and movement: a way of combating sedentary lifestyles and obesity, and to get children moving through play features, ground signage and light equipment.

Other examples include the addition of frescoes on basketball and handball courts. The latest is on the handball court in the Jardin Reuilly (12th arrondissement), featuring a female figure.
The fresco created as part of the partnership between the City of Paris and ASICS, Paris, bouge ton esprit on the banks of the Seine is also an invitation to practice sport.
On the banks of the Seine, a giant fresco encouraging women to take up running was created by artist Audrey Laurençon for ASICS and the City of Paris.
