Colonel Bui Van Sy, Deputy Political Commissar of the Dong Nai Provincial Military Command, stated: In recent times, to concretize the Party Committee and the Command of Military Region 7's policy of "Strengthening friendly ties, support, and assistance to ethnic and religious communities," the armed forces of Dong Nai province have actively collaborated with local Party committees and authorities to care for the spiritual well-being of the parishioners. The outdoor sports facility at Tan Hiep Parish, inaugurated this time, has profound humanitarian significance, demonstrating the affection of the officers and soldiers of the provincial armed forces, along with the Party committee and authorities of Tan Khai commune, towards the parishioners of Tan Hiep Parish.

The facility serves as a venue for social interaction and sports activities. Once operational, it will contribute to improving the spiritual well-being and health of the parishioners and local people. Furthermore, it symbolizes the close and friendly relationship between the armed forces and Tan Hiep Parish, as well as other religious institutions in the province. It demonstrates the concern of all levels and sectors in caring for and improving the lives of the people in religious communities, contributing to strengthening the "people's support" base.

Parishioners and local people had the opportunity to experience the exercise and sports equipment immediately after the inauguration ceremony.

Reportedly, the project has a construction area of ​​approximately 300m² , including items such as: site preparation and foundation; installation of outdoor fitness and sports equipment, lighting system and netting for football and volleyball courts… with a budget of 250 million VND supported by the Command of Military Region 7.
