Kai Tak Sports Park is designed to be one of the world’s leading integrated sports, leisure and entertainment destination. The Sports Park consists of three major sports venues: a 50,000-seat Main Stadium designed to host major international sports events; a multi-purpose Indoor Sports Centre that can be customised for both events and community sports use; and a thoughtfully designed Public Sports Ground, suitable for hosting school sports days, athletics meets, local football and rugby matches. The Sports Park also offers more than 8 hectares of open space for the enjoyment of the community. The open spaces include a Neighbourhood Park that offer ball courts, a jogging trail, a children playground and a lawn for the public and families to spend leisure time.
