Lace up your trainers – Kai Tak Sports Park, Hong Kong’s leading integrated sports and entertainment destination, has opened new outdoor facilities for leisure and fitness!
Dubbed the North Garden, this outdoor sports zone is now home to Hong Kong’s largest covered climbing wall at 17.5 metres tall, with different sections to be introduced in phases. An eight-metre auto-belay area designed for children and beginners will open first in the third quarter of the year, followed by a 10-metre top-rope zone, 15-metre speed climbing zone, and 17.5-metre lead climbing zone towards the end of October.
North Garden also contains a dynamic covered court for urban games such as three-on-three basketball, dodgeball, pickleball, futsal, handball, dodgebee, and teqball, as well as a beach ball court for volleyball, beach tennis, and even beach football. With misting cooling systems installed and washing facilities on-site, it means that visitors can still feel comfortable even in the hot and muggy clutches of summertime.
A multi-purpose tennis court, fitted out with three standard courts, is scheduled to open in the third quarter of the year, and the flexible space can also be configured for basketball and volleyball matches. Athletes and hobbyists can use the venue for warm-ups during competitions, community activities and tournaments, and even training.
Aside from the North Garden, the new outdoor facilities will also cater to families. Playfield 5 stands out as one of Hong Kong’s largest children’s playgrounds, and it’s also notable for its distinctive design. Inspired by the landscape of Song-dynasty-era salt fields, the layout of this 4,300-square-metre wonderland is divided into colourful zones, following the five elements in Chinese philosophy – wood, fire, earth, metal, and water. Kids can expend their energy exploring sand pits, swings, slides, a zip line, two play towers, water features, trampolines, a climbing wall, and other interactive facilities.
When it’s time to refuel, the Dining Cove, also set to open in the third quarter, will be your one-stop-shop for food and beverage options, allowing access to other attractions in the Kai Tak Development Area for a holistic sports, leisure, and entertainment experience.
