This sports ground is located next to Ocean Park, just outside of the Aberdeen tunnel. The location…read moremay not be the best as there is no nearby MTR station yet. You either come here by bus or take your private car. Parking can be difficult as the sports ground itself only has around 10 spaces. Still this place is very popular. Joggers do their rounds, running clubs do their interval training here, some rugby and football teams have their weekly training on the real grass pitch. Weekday evenings can get quite crowded with many people using the track. In general the facilities are fine. There are enough lockers to store your valuable items, there are enough vending machines and the toilets, changing rooms and showers are clean enough.

My school was located in Aberdeen, so almost all our Sports Days were held at the Aberdeen Sports…read moreGround. To get there, you can take pretty much any bus that goes through the Aberdeen tunnel - it'll definitely pass by the Sports Ground, as the Sports Ground is actually just along the road where cars exit the tunnel. I guess this Sports Ground is just like any other in Hong Kong. The track is 400m long, and there are clear markings at every 100m mark. The area encircled by the track is a huge grassy patch, where other sporting events like shot put or long jump can be held (there are two sand pits for long jump). The bleachers on the side can fit a whole school and more. I always thought the bleachers were really uncomfortable to sit on though, and the bleachers go quite high so it's always annoying if you need to go to the highest bench just to get something and come down again! There are your typical vending machines around with drinks like water, lemon tea, soft drinks etc. If you want something more substantial - i.e. food, there's a counter that sells ice cream, chips and other snacks. The colorful ice pops - the ones where you break in two and give one to a friend - were always a favorite among us. There are quite a few water fountains here too for you to refill your bottles. In my opinion, this Sports Ground has everything needed to run a successful Sports Meet - and on days where it's not rented out, you'll see athletes making use of the track for training. One thing though is that the toilets are not super clean here, but they're not too terrible I guess!

Anyone who loves both owes themselves a visit to the Lingnan Garden in Mei Foo (美孚) where photo ops are aplenty and dreams of outdoor fantasies come true. There are plenty of parks all throughout Hong Kong, but this Kowloon gem is certainly among the most unique. Surrounded by the greater Mei Foo Sun Chuen (all phases), Lingnan is neighbored by the roller skating rink and volleyball / gateball courts. It is the only themed garden throughout the entire park and is the site for many Hong Kong filming locations for the Mo Hap movies. It is so easy to imagine when gazing around this magnificent place. During the weekends, it can get crowded in the afternoon. Hong Kongers are already so outdoorsy during the day time that the few tourists or SE Asian domestic helpers tend to crowd this place up looking to score everything from selfies to people watching. It is a bit off the beaten path but a cool find at that. Unlike other parts of the park (namely Stage 1) where access is 24 hours, Lingnan is open at 7am till 11pm. While the night time is likely a peaceful stroll, the daytime is ideal for family gatherings and quality photo shoots.

It was a pleasant sort of day, and the park was a lovely thing to stumble onto. It was expansive and very walkable, with a lot of nice greenery and good people watching. And by people watching, I mean that the park was full of senior citizens getting in workouts--the park was equipped with cute, colorful, low resistance exercise equipment explicitly designed for the elderly. I saw one old lady doing leg presses, another cluster of them hanging out on mechanical stationary bikes. We didn't spend a ton of time at Cherry Street Park, but it seemed like a neat little spot, certainly a boon for locals. I'd love if my grandma had a free outdoor gym near her apartment. Just the thought of her gabbing with her church friends, pedaling very slowly on an exercise bike, makes me wish someone would copy this place in my city.

If you come here at night, the buildings come to life, lighting up the sky around you. You wouldn't imagine that a bank could be a tourist attraction, but something about all these buildings together really creates such an amazing atmosphere. (I think I spent 5 minutes just watching the HSBC building change colors.) Since it's Christmas time, the square itself has a bunch of decorations and a huge Christmas tree made of ornaments. After spending some time looking at the buildings, there is also alot of great shopping and food around central/admiralty to enjoy.

It's 5mins walk from Quarry Bay MTR, and If you pass by sometime you'll see elderly folks chatting and chilling at the small garden area outside the entrance. Hikers pass by the building because the entrance to the HK Island hiking trail Mount Parker is outside. So while this place is a bit rusty, it is far from obsolete. The sports center is small compared to other Government Sports Centers, only two floors, 6/f and 7/f. In the two floors, they managed to pack a table tennis room, 2 squash courts, basketball court (convertible into a volleyball court or 4 badminton courts), a dance room (189m2) and a small fitness room (165m2). Like I said, the place is a bit old and visibly so, and the ventilation is not so great in certain areas. But the place is still busy during off-work hours and classes are regularly held in the fitness rooms, so the much newer Island East Sport Center (2001) one MTR stop away has become a good alternative. Staff here are mostly similar to their patrons: old-timers who are friendly and talkative. That also pretty much sums up the sports center, a bit barebones, weathered, but genuine and neighborhood-friendly.
