Sha Tin Sports Ground, Athletic stadium in Sha Tin District, Hong Kong.
Sha Tin Sports Ground is a stadium facility in Sha Tin District featuring a standard 400-meter running track with eight lanes and a dedicated football pitch equipped with floodlights. The venue includes spectator seating, changing facilities, and accessible infrastructure designed to accommodate athletic competitions and training activities.
Construction finished in 1983 and the ground opened on 10 January 1984, inaugurated by Acting Governor Sir Edward Youde. In 2009 the Hong Kong Football Association confirmed Sha Tin Sports Association would keep using it as their home ground in the Hong Kong First Division. A nine-month renovation closed it from 3 October 2023 to July 2024, and from the 2026–27 Hong Kong Premier League season it became the home of Sha Tin.
Sha Tin Sports Ground has hosted events beyond football, including the 2003 first Youth Pearl River Cup baseball tournament, the Sha Tin Easter Run organised by Pacers Athletic Club, and the 1997 'Ten Thousand Doves Celebrate Reunification' event held by the former Regional Council. It is also used for school athletics training challenge days.
The ground sits at 18 Yuen Wo Road beside the Shing Mun River, within a sports belt shared with Yuen Wo Playground, the Jockey Club squash courts and the Jockey Club swimming pool. Two covered grandstands hold 2,540 seats after the 2024 renovation, down 460 from before. The pitch and track close during maintenance windows, as in the nine-month refurbishment from October 2023 to July 2024, so check access before travelling.
The ground forms part of a larger sports complex that includes public swimming pools and squash courts in the same area. This integration allows multiple types of athletes and recreational users to access different facilities without traveling far.
