Works for Sports Park at former Canidrome to start in Q2 this year

The construction of the new Sports Park will commence in the second quarter (Q2) of this year, the Secretary for Social Affairs and Culture, Elsie Ao Ieong, said recently at the Legislative Assembly (AL). The government previously announced that the new park would be built on the land of the former Canindrome and Lin Fong Sports Center.

Ao Ieong provided this update in response to inquiries from lawmakers Leong Sun Iok and Ma Io Fong regarding the development of the “City of Sports and Shows,” and the status of the new sports facilities.

The Secretary said that the Sports Park project is currently undergoing analysis and is expected to start construction by the end of June.

According to the project presentation in July last year, the track and field and swimming pool will be preserved, while other facilities will be upgraded and integrated with new buildings. The plans include the incorporation of a children’s library and other amenities.

The new project was presented five years, following the closure of the greyhound racing facility. RM
