Kai Tak Sports Park is a large multi-purpose sports venue located in Kai Tak, Kowloon City District, Hong Kong. As a core part of both the "Kai Tak Development Plan" and the "Revitalizing Kowloon East" initiative, it represents the largest sports infrastructure project in Hong Kong's history. The project is built and operated by Kai Tak Sports Park Limited, a private entity, aiming to provide competition and training venues for sports associations, schools, and groups, as well as host large-scale concerts and other events.
Kai Tak Sports Park is situated on the former site of Kai Tak Airport, which was once Hong Kong’s international airport before its closure in 1998. After years of planning and redevelopment, this historically significant area is being transformed into a modern sports and leisure hub to promote community health and urban development. Its design not only preserves elements of Kai Tak Airport's history but also integrates the latest architectural technologies to create world-class sports and entertainment experiences.
