Bishkek opens school stadium to public; visitors immediately litter

The Bishkek City Administration has opened several school sports facilities for public access outside of regular school hours, aiming to provide more recreational opportunities for residents. Among these is the stadium at School No. 62, which is now available for community use.

To maintain order and protect the facilities, the administration has implemented measures including the deployment of responsible staff and the installation of a video surveillance system. These steps are intended to ensure the security and preservation of the property.

However, the initiative faced an immediate challenge. On the very first day the stadium was opened to the public, visitors left behind a significant amount of trash. This behavior has prompted the municipality to issue a public appeal.

The administration emphasized that the decision to open these school grounds was a direct response to requests from the residents themselves. Therefore, continued free access hinges on the community's commitment to treating municipal property with care and adhering to basic cleanliness standards. The city urges citizens to act responsibly, respect the work of maintenance staff, and collectively ensure that these shared school sports grounds remain clean, safe, and accessible for everyone.
