Overview

The fully integrated Kai Tak Sports Park will be the largest sports infrastructure in Hong Kong. It is designed to bring people together through world class sports and entertainment events.

The sports avenue runs through the precinct for easy navigation and accessibility to all parts of the Kai Tak Sports Park. It will end at a harbourfront promenade with a spectacular view of the Victoria Harbour. A network of elevated walkways will also connect Kai Tak Sports Park with the neighbourhood and transportation hubs. These enhancements will ensure that Kai Tak Sports Park is a state-of-the-art facility for Hong Kong and worldwide.

The centrepiece is a 50,000-seat main stadium inspired by Hong Kong’s reputation as the “Pearl of the Orient.” It features a fully retractable roof, a flexible pitch system, and a south stand window overlooking the Victoria Harbour.

Next to the main stadium is the indoor sports centre that has the flexibility to host community sports and events of up to 10,000 seats. A public sports ground for community sports, sports days, training sessions and domestic competitions will also be offered at the Kai Tak Sports Park together with 5,000 spectator seats. These venues will be complemented with extensive public open spaces for events and leisure together with retail, a health and wellness centre and a bowling alley and harbourfront dining spaces.

Through the technical visit, participants will also be introduced to the sustainable design and innovative construction technologies employed in the project.
