The Leisure & Cultural Services Department (LCSD) announced today that it will distribute free activity coupons from Monday for Sport For All Day 2024, which will be held on August 4.

Members of the public with the coupons can take part in free recreation and sports programmes at designated sports centres in 18 districts on the event day.

Themed “Parent-child Exercise for Fun & Fitness”, Sport For All Day 2024 activities include a variety of sports demonstrations and parent-child fun games, encouraging parents and children to exercise together and develop the habit of regular physical activity.

On the event day, parent-child group exercises suitable for people of different ages will be demonstrated at the Tung Cheong Street Sports Centre, the prime venue. There will also be an electronic virtual sports booth, as well as experiential activities for new sports and urban sports, such as Kabaddi and Basketball 3x3, which have grown in popularity in recent years.

Citizens of different ages are encouraged to take part in these activities and explore their potential in sports.

Free recreation and sports programmes will be held from 2pm to 6pm on the day at designated sports centres in 18 districts, covering health talks and fitness corners, as well as sports demonstrations and fun games for the elderly and persons with disabilities.

Activity coupons will be available from 8.30am on July 22 at LCSD District Leisure Services Offices and designated venues in the 18 districts. Participants are advised to bring the activity coupons to attend the events on time on August 4. A small portion of coupons will be reserved for walk-in participants on the event day on a first-come, first-served basis.

Various LCSD leisure facilities will also be open for free use on the day and the sessions for free use of facilities will be allocated through balloting.

Members of the public can submit a balloting application via SmartPLAY from now on until July 22. The computer balloting results will be announced by July 25.
