Kai Tak Sports Park is a multi-purpose sports venue that is being built at the site of the former Kai Tak Airport in Kowloon, Hong Kong, as part of the Kai Tak Development. The sports park will be located on the north western part of the old Kai Tak Airport, where some of the parking stands used to be.[1] With an area of around 28 hectares, Kai Tak Sports Park anchors the redevelopment of the former airport site and offers a world-class destination for all interests.[2]

When it opens, Kai Tak Sports Park will become the largest sports venue in Hong Kong[3] and is intended to support the future sports development of Hong Kong.[4]

South China Morning Post reported that the sports park would be completed by 2023,[5] but has since been postponed to 2024 due to construction materials shortage.,[6] costing HK$30 billion[5] and would have a 50,000-seat Main Stadium with a retractable roof, a 10,000-seat Indoor Sports Center and a 5,000-seat Public Sports Ground.[5]
