Ballot applications to start on July 17 for free use of leisure facilities on Sport For All Day 2025
******************************************************************************************
The free-of-charge sessions for August 3 will be allocated through balloting. From July 17 to 23, members of the public can make ballot applications on SmartPLAY as individual users. Each application can include up to three choices of sessions. Any applicant wishing to change the choices in his/her application made can do so on SmartPLAY before the closing time at 11.59pm on July 23. The computer balloting results will be announced on July 26. Successful applicants will be notified by the SmartPLAY system. Any remaining sessions will be open for application on SmartPLAY on a first-come, first-served basis from July 28 to members of the public not having been allocated any free session by ballot or not having made any application. Each successful applicant will only be allocated one free session, whether through balloting or first-come, first-served booking.
The LCSD appeals to successful applicants to arrive on time to make the best use of the booked facilities. All users should observe the Conditions of Use of LCSD Recreation and Sports Facilities (the Conditions) as set out on the LCSD website www.lcsd.gov.hk/en/condition/index.html (including the "no-show/not present during the use of the booked sessions" penalty). If a successful applicant fails to take up a booked session on time, the arrangements stipulated in the Conditions will apply. For enquiry, please call 2414 5555 or visit the dedicated website.
No prior application will be required for using public swimming pool facilities. Members of the public may line up at the entrances of swimming pools before the start of a session. Free admission is offered on a first-come, first-served basis.
A series of free recreation and sports programmes will also be conducted on the same day (from 2pm to 6pm) at designated sports centres across the 18 districts. The arrangements for distributing free activity coupons will be announced within July.
Echoing the SFAD 2025, a number of organisations will open up their facilities or roll out recreation and sports programmes on August 3 for the public free of charge. Up-to-date information will be provided on the dedicated website.
