The Leisure & Cultural Services Department (LCSD) announced today that the opening of leisure facilities for free use for Sport For All Day 2020 on August 2 will be cancelled to align with the Government's latest anti-epidemic measures.

The LCSD will instead webcast a new series of physical fitness exercise demonstration videos on that day to encourage the public to stay home and exercise during the epidemic.

Most of the department’s leisure facilities are open for public use without charge on Sport For All Day, which is held in August annually to encourage people to maintain a healthy lifestyle by participating in sport and fostering the habit of exercising for at least half an hour a day.

In view of the latest COVID-19 situation, the LCSD has temporarily closed its leisure venues and facilities since July 15, while passive and amenity areas and outdoor jogging tracks at parks remain open.

Members of the public can watch the fitness exercise video on the event website or the department's online resources centre from August 2.
