Methods: This paper designed a set of questionnaires from three aspects: the distribution of residents’ sports infrastructure, residents’ sports skills, and the safety of residents’ sports activities. A total of 3152 samples were obtained, and Excel software was used for data entry, processing, and analysis. Results: With the standardized development of the prevention and control of COVID-19, the residents’ sports infrastructure was gradually improved. There has been progressed in the distribution of sports facilities, the composition of the underlying surface, the provision of services related to sports activities, and health awareness. According to the survey, the proportion of major injuries among residents was 0.190%; the proportion of moderate multiple injuries was 0.476% after preventive training. The proportion of moderate minor injuries was 3.109%. The proportion of multiple minor injuries was 26.491%; the proportion of minor injuries was 38.642%. At this time, the safety of physical activities in the study area was considered acceptable. Conclusion: Related departments should cooperate with the community to increase college residents’ awareness of sports safety and the importance of training skills by optimizing infrastructure, improving volunteer services, and enhancing publicity to reduce the hidden dangers of sports safety as much as possible.
