Ma On Shan Sports Ground

Can you imagine the roar of a crowd, echoing across a vibrant green field? Here at the Ma On Shan Sports Ground, that imagined roar can become reality. The Ma On Shan Sports Ground opened its gates on December 28, 1999. This wasn’t just another sports ground. It was built to international standards, specifically those of the International Amateur Athletic Federation. The Ma On Shan Sports Ground is more than just a venue for elite athletes. It’s a place for the community, nestled near Yiu On Estate, Chung On Estate, and Heng On Estate. It is easily accessible, just a short hop from Heng On Station on the MTR. The Ma On Shan Sports Ground has seen its share of challenges. Its construction was significantly delayed due to contractor bankruptcy. The Architectural Services Department stepped in to complete the project in December 1997. This perseverance reflects the spirit of the Ma On Shan Sports Ground, a place where challenges are met and overcome. While the ground hosts many organized events, from school sports days to corporate competitions, it also welcomes individuals. When not booked for events, the Ma On Shan Sports Ground is open to the public for jogging. Imagine yourself lacing up your running shoes, ready to take on the 400m track. Feel the energy of the place, knowing that Olympic athletes once trained here. In the lead-up to the 2008 Beijing Olympics, the Sports Institute track and field athletes trained exclusively at the Ma On Shan Sports Ground. Picture them pushing their limits, striving for excellence on the same ground where you now stand. The grandstand, stretching 150 meters, can hold over 1,300 spectators. Imagine the excitement during a packed event. The Ma On Shan Sports Ground is a testament to the power of community spirit and the pursuit of athletic achievement. Whether you’re a seasoned athlete or simply looking for a place to jog, the Ma On Shan Sports Ground offers something for everyone.
