The Brand-new Outdoor Standard Tennis Court will Officially Open in the Third Quarter

Set to open in the third quarter, the Multi-Purpose Tennis Court features three standard courts with a flexible design that allows conversion into basketball or volleyball courts. The courts are suitable for training, community activities and as warm-up venues during major competitions held at KTSP. This innovative design enhances the overall synergy of the Sports Park’s sports facilities. In future, the venue can host community tennis tournaments, promoting the development of local tennis and providing athletes with more opportunities for competition and exchange. 

Facility reservations now available to encourage community participation

To foster a sports culture and maximize the use of facilities, the Covered Court, the Beach Ball Court, and the Tennis Court are managed by three professional sports organizations. Through sports training programmes, regular local and international competitions, community events and youth development initiatives, these venues aim to encourage public participation and strengthen social cohesion. Surrounding each venue are seating areas, shaded zones and rest spaces to ensure a comfortable and enjoyable experience for both participants and audiences.

A Playground Inspired by the Chinese Five Elements: Embracing Inclusive Design to Spark Children's Spirit of Exploration

Another highlight is Playfield 5, a themed children’s playground inspired by the landscape of salt fields of the Song dynasty and infused with the traditional Chinese philosophy of the Five Elements “Metal, Wood, Water, Fire and Earth”. The playground is divided into five distinct zones, each offering a unique sensory and educational experience. Playfield 5 embodies an abstraction of the area’s hilly terrain and historical land use, with undulating ‘hills’ designed to invite young explorers on a journey of discovery. The playground’s colourful palette represents these elements: yellow for Metal, green for Wood, blue for Water, red for Fire and orange for Earth. The facilities feature different textures that represent the Five Elements, creating a landscape where various play equipment and inclusive features stimulate the development of young players’ senses and inspire their understanding of the world.

Key features of the playground include sand pits, a boulder wall, a zip line, two play towers each over 10 meters high, along with interactive playground facilities and a grassy relaxation zone, making it a year-round destination for family enjoyment. To promote inclusion and create a child-friendly recreational space for children of all abilities, Playfield 5 features barrier-free facilities such as specially designed sand pits and trampolines that welcome all children to play safely and joyfully together.

Unveiling Hong Kong's Largest Covered Climbing Wall, Running Track, and Cycling Path

In addition to the new outdoor sports facilities at "North Garden," the climbing wall located on Kai Tak Sports Avenue stands at 17.5 meters, making it one of the largest covered climbing walls in Hong Kong, set to open in phases. The first phase, featuring an 8-meter auto-belay area suitable for children and beginners, will open in the third quarter. The 10-meter top-rope area, 15-meter speed climbing zone, and 17.5-meter lead climbing zone are expected to open by the end of October, allowing sports enthusiasts to challenge their physical limits. The park also includes a running track and the GreenWay shared used by pedestrians and cyclists. The Dining Cove section will open in the third quarter of this year, providing direct access to various attractions in the Kai Tak Development Area and offering travellers a personalized sports and leisure experience.
