Ma On Shan Sports Ground
Characteristic
Ma On Shan Sports Ground was opened in 2000. Surrounded by towers of concrete residential housing estates and other community facilities, the sports ground immediately stands out as a landmark of the sprawling buildings. The design is simple and practical. The 2-tier 150 m long spectator stand accommodates about 1,400 spectators. There is no fancy or pastel colours but simply blue for seats and muted silver for the railings and the lightweight canopy protrudes from torch-like columns. Underneath lie the changing rooms and offices. The sports ground was built to International Athletic Association standards.
Facilities
Running track (400 m), grass pitch, etc
