Conditions for Free Use of Leisure Facilities

  1. The hirer must be one of the users of the leisure facility booked. Before using the facility, the hirer is required to produce his / her identity document, a valid user permit and proof of recognised qualifications (if necessary) for checking.
  2. All leisure facilities shall be used for their designated purposes only.
  3. If a booked facility is not taken up by the hirer 10 minutes after the start of the booked session, it will be allocated to other users on a first-come-first-served basis on condition that it shall be used for the same purpose as that for which booking was made by the original hirer. The user shall surrender the facility back to the original hirer immediately upon the latter’s arrival. Queuing for use of vacant facilities will commence after the start of each session.
  4. The number of occasions on which a hirer is found “not having taken up the booked recreation and sports facility without cancellation of the booking one day before the start of the booked session” on the Sport for All Day is counted on a day basis and regarded as one occasion, regardless of the number of sessions involved. A hirer who is found to have failed to take up the booked session without cancellation of booking on two occasions within a period of 30 days, will have his / her booking right (including advance booking and on-the-spot-booking) suspended for 90 days. The suspension will take effect two days after the second occasion.
  5. A hirer who is unable to take up a booked session should cancel the booked facility as soon as possible. Leisure Link Patron can cancel the booking through the Leisure Link online booking system one day before the start of the booked session(s). Non Leisure Link Patron can cancel the booking with his / her smart Hong Kong Identity Card through the Leisure Link Self-service Kiosks one day before the start of the booked session. A hirer who chooses to cancel the booking through booking counters is required to return the completed application form (LCS 841) at least one day before the date of use. The above form can be obtained from the Leisure Link booking counters of LCSD leisure venues or downloaded from the LCSD website. Upon receipt of the written notification, the LCSD will cancel the booked session in the computer system and release the facility for booking or for use by others.
  6. To maximise the use of resources and ensure the safety of users, a hirer must make sure the requirements regarding the number of users and / or users’ qualifications are fully met. Failure to do so will entitle the LCSD to reallocate the booked leisure facility to other users on the spot. Walk-in applicants shall only use the facility for the same purpose as that for which booking was made by the original hirer.
