The Leisure and Cultural Services Department announced today (August 23) that a park, which is located east of Fan Kam Road (i.e. part of the Old Course of the Fanling Golf Course), will open for public use from 3pm on September 1. The park provides various facilities including an Inclusive Park for Pets, a walking trail, two 5-a-side hard-surface soccer pitches, and areas to be opened in phases at later stages. The Inclusive Park for Pets at the northern end of the park will be open from 7am to 6pm, while the walking trail will be open from 7am to 9pm.

     As the surface of the 5-a-side hard-surface soccer pitches is damaged and in an undesirable state, maintenance and renovation works will be conducted immediately once the area is taken over by the department on September 1 to ensure the safety of users. The facilities will be open for public use later this year after the completion of works.

     To facilitate the holding of two international golf tournaments at the Fanling Golf Course, namely the Aramco Team Series and the Hong Kong Open, the park will be temporarily closed between September 11 and November 15, while the fee-charging carpark will not be open for public use from October 2 to 9 and November 6 to 13 during the course of the tournaments. 

     Members of the public who plan to visit the park can walk from Exit B1 of the Sheung Shui MTR Station in about 20 minutes, or take various bus and minibus routes to get there. A fee-charging public carpark is also available at the park for public use.
