Conditions for Free Use of Leisure Facilities

1. The hirer must be one of the users of the leisure facility booked. Before using the facilities, individual hirers must check-in for the use of the facilities with his/her original Hong Kong Identity Card at the SmartPLAY Smart Self-service Station or Self-service Check-in Device. Non-Hong Kong Identity Card holders and hirers who have not had their relevant qualifications of their SmartPLAY account information verified are required to present the original copy of the recognised identity document and the recognised qualification / eligibility certificate (if required) at the counter for checking and registration.
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. A hirer who is unable to take up a booked session should cancel the booked facility as soon as possible. Hirers can cancel the booking through the SmartPLAY system one day before the start of the booked session(s). A no-show/"not present" record will be filed on the hirer when he or she fails to take up a session as booked without on-time completion of the cancellation procedure.
5. 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 60 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.
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.
