About this place

Managed by the Leisure and Cultural Services Department (LCSD) of Hong Kong, this open-air public recreation venue is situated directly in front of the historic, Grade 1 Yuk Hui Temple (Pak Tai Temple). It features free outdoor sports facilities, including a 7-a-side soccer pitch and basketball courts. Families and cultural tourists visit the playground to soak in the island's unique heritage, enjoy a safe vehicle-free environment, and experience the world-famous annual Cheung Chau Bun Festival, which is held right on this site.

Things to know

Car-Free Safety

The absolute absence of motor vehicles throughout Cheung Chau creates an incredibly safe and relaxed environment where children can run and explore without traffic worries.

Beat the Heat

The playground is entirely outdoor and has very little canopy shade. During hot months, it is best to visit before 10:00 AM or after 4:00 PM to avoid peak sun exposure.

Pack the Essentials

Bring sunscreen, hats, water, and snacks. There are no retail kiosks inside the immediate sports grounds (though plenty of local cafes and bakeries are a short walk away on the surrounding streets).

Peak Crowds

During the annual Cheung Chau Bun Festival (typically in May), this exact playground becomes heavily congested with visitors and temporary structures. It is not stroller-friendly during this period.

Good to know

Is there dedicated play equipment (slides, swings) for young children at this playground?
No. The Pak Tai Temple Playground consists of a 7-a-side soccer pitch and basketball courts. For children's climbing towers, swings, and spinners, families should walk to the nearby Cheung Chau Park Children's Playground (located on Cheung Shek Road), which was co-designed by local children under the theme "Island Vibrancy".
How do we get to the playground from the ferry pier?
Once you exit the Cheung Chau Ferry Pier, turn right (north) and enjoy a flat, easy 10-minute walk along San Hing Praya Street and Pak She Praya Road. The playground is highly visible directly in front of the temple.
Is there an admission fee to enter the playground?
No, the playground is a public recreation space and is completely free to enter. Visiting the historic Pak Tai Temple next door is also free (though voluntary donations for temple preservation are welcome).
Can we drive a car to the venue or find parking nearby?
No. Cheung Chau is a vehicle-free island. If you are traveling by car, you must park your vehicle at a car park near the Central Ferry Piers on Hong Kong Island before boarding the ferry.
Is it a good idea to bring toddlers to the midnight Bun Scrambling Competition?
It is not recommended for young kids. The midnight event at the playground's soccer pitch is extremely crowded, requires queuing hours in advance, and ends very late. Instead, families with children will greatly enjoy the daytime Piu Sik (Floating Colours) Parade through the streets of Cheung Chau, where kids are suspended on hidden metal frames to look like they are floating.
