Located near the rural village area in Shatin, the project Che Kung Temple Sports Centre is not only a sports centre, but also an urban oasis for inter-generation enjoyment. Besides sports facilities for the youth, extensive courtyards and gardens are created as a leisure retreat for nearby elderly population and help to bind the building with the surrounding natural setting. Dialogue and visual linkage are intentionally created between courtyards, gardens, function rooms, inside and outside, to bring different users together and encourage visitors to explore the building and the vicinity.
The Leisure and Cultural Services Department provides and manages a wide range of sports, recreational and cultural facilities in Hong Kong. The main objective of the department is to enrich the community’s quality of life through the promotion and provision of recreational and cultural facilities and activities.
