English translation:颠簸遥远
Explanation:
"颠簸遥远"是可以直接翻译成"bumpy"(颠簸)和"far away"(遥远). 但是英语口语里常用的是"long and bumpy." "Long and bumpy"更适合形容旅途的过程。

整个句子就是: Among Chengdu's new sports facilities, 3 of them are located about 30 minutes from the city center, no longer making the trip a long and bumpy journey.

Explanation:
前面说了“距离成都市中心相对较近”,所以后面的“让打球的旅途不再颠簸遥远”显得重复了,翻译“30分钟左右的车程”即可。
