The Leisure and Cultural Services Department (LCSD) is set to again open for free public use sports facilities across the city on August 3, a Sunday.
That is this year’s designated Sport for All Day
(SFAD) 2025, when the public is given free access to indoor and outdoor venues,
including swimming pools, badminton and tennis courts, fitness rooms and waters
sports center, in order to encourage an active lifestyle for all.
To ensure equal access, the free sessions at the
various venues will be allocated through a ballot system for bookings that will
be made from, July 17 to 23 via the SmartPLAY platform. Each applicant can
choose up to three time slots.
The results will be announced on Saturday, July 26.

From July 28, any remaining slots will be available
on a first-come, first-served basis through bookings on the SmartPLAY platform for
those who missed the ballot.
Each person can secure only one free session,
regardless of the booking method.
The LCSD reminds registered users to arrive on time,
as latecomers might lose their slots. Penalties will apply for no-shows under
the department’s facility usage policy.
