“美丽中国”战略目标的实现离不开“美丽城市”的建设。生态文明是实现美丽城市更新建设的保证者，而美丽城市的建设是落实生态文明的重要举措，两者互动发展、共同促进。城市休闲体育的蓬勃开展离不开生态文明的推动与滋养，生态文明建设是休闲体育发展的至高境界，为城市休闲体育发展提供了外在环境和内部动力。城市休闲体育通过亲近自然、绿色消费、健身怡情、协调“三生”等实际行动，起到了推动人居环境改善、拉动低碳经济增长、实现生命价值延展和促进城市休闲功能提升的作用，是生态文明建设的最佳践行手段。

Realizing the strategic goal of “beautiful China” is inseparable from the construction of “beautiful city”. Ecological civilization is the guarantee to realize the renewal and construction of beautiful cities, and the construction of beautiful cities is an important measure to implement ecological civilization. The vigorous development of city leisure sports cannot be separated from the promotion and nourishment of ecological civilization. Ecological civilization construction is the highest realm of the development of leisure sports and provides the external environment and internal power for the development of city leisure sports. City leisure sports with the inherent characteristics of being close to nature, green consumption, fitness and happiness are the best means to practice the construction of ecological civilization. Under the construction of ecological civilization, the paper puts forward some thoughts on the development of urban leisure sports: improve the ecological system to lead the direction of urban leisure sports; respect the law of the city to stimulate the endogenous power of urban leisure sports; improve the ecological environment to promote the release of leisure sports demand of urban residents; coordinate the layout of “three students” to optimize the spatial structure of urban leisure and sports.
