History
Ma On Shan was opened by Lau Wong-fat on 28 December 1999. During construction the completion date was seriously delayed due to contractor bankruptcy. Work was taken over by the Architectural Services Department in December 1997 who completed construction.[1]
Activities
Ma On Shan Sports Ground is designed for local sports use, such as schools and companies' sports days. If it is not booked, then it will be open to the public for jogging.
Due to the 2008 Olympics Equestrian event in Shatin, the Sports Institute's track and field athletes were given permission to train exclusively at Ma On Shan Sports Ground every day.[2]。
