Ma On Shan Sports Ground, Stadium in Sha Tin District, Hong Kong.
Ma On Shan Sports Ground is a sports facility in Sha Tin featuring an eight-lane athletics track, a floodlit football field, and seating for around 1,400 spectators. The facility includes changing rooms, accessible restrooms, and a separate 90-meter warm-up track for athletes.
Ma On Shan Sports Ground was built on the former Hing On temporary housing area, a site of about 42,000 square metres. Construction was delayed when the previous contractor went bankrupt; the Architectural Services Department took over the site in December 1997, and the contractor Build King restarted work in January 1998, completing it on 27 August 1999. Lau Wong-fat, then chairman of the Provisional Regional Council, opened the ground on 28 December 1999; it was the last building completed before the council was dissolved.
The ground is built for district sports events such as school and company sports days, and the Hong Kong Football Association schedules Second and Third Division league matches here. When the track is not booked for athletics meetings or training, it opens to the public for jogging.
The ground sits at 1 Hang Hong Street in Ma On Shan, on the former site of the Hing On temporary housing area. The 150-metre double-deck grandstand holds about 1,400 spectators, with changing rooms and offices beneath it. When the track is not booked for athletics meetings or training, it opens to the public for jogging.
The ground stands on the former site of the Hing On temporary housing area in Sha Tin's Area 92, a 42,000-square-metre plot.
