About this place

Managed by the Leisure and Cultural Services Department (LCSD), Tsang Tai Uk Recreation Ground is a versatile outdoor public facility in Sha Tin. Located adjacent to the historic Grade 1 Tsang Tai Uk Hakka walled village and the Shing Mun River, the ground combines active recreation with local heritage. It features various ball courts, an artificial turf soccer pitch, and a children's play area. Families visit to let kids play safely outdoors, enjoy recreational sports, or pair a play session with a cultural walk through the adjacent historic village.

Things to know

Beat the Heat

Being a fully outdoor venue with limited shade over the active play areas, the mid-day sun can be intense. Parents should aim to visit between 8:00 am and 10:00 am or after 4:00 pm.

Bring the Essentials

Pack water bottles, sun hats, sunscreen, and mosquito repellent (especially during the humid months from April to October).

Snack Options

There is a light refreshment kiosk on-site (located near the booking office) where families can purchase drinks and light snacks.

Incorporate Local History

Before or after playing, take a short stroll to see the Tsang Tai Uk walled village next door. It is a preserved Grade 1 historical Hakka compound built in 1847, perfect for an educational moment with older kids.

Good to know

Is there any admission fee to use the playground or basketball courts?

No, entering the recreation ground, utilizing the children's play area, and using the general outdoor basketball courts is completely free.

How do we book the soccer pitch or tennis courts, and are they free?

No, the 11-a-side artificial turf soccer pitch and tennis courts are fee-charging facilities. They must be booked in advance online using the LCSD's SmartPLAY system.

Are there changing rooms and baby care facilities on-site?

Yes, there are men's and ladies' toilets and changing rooms equipped with showers and lockers near the main booking office. An official baby care room is unknown, but barrier-free accessible toilets are readily available.

Can kids ride bicycles or scooters inside the recreation ground?

General riding of bicycles or scooters inside the sports courts and playground is not allowed under LCSD pleasure ground regulations. However, the venue is connected to Sha Tin's wider public cycling track network nearby.

What should we do if it starts raining?

Because this is an entirely outdoor park, there are very few indoor shelters. In the event of sudden rain, you can seek shelter at the nearby covered walkways of Jat Min Chuen or Pok Hong Estate, or head to the Che Kung Temple MTR Station.
