As a long-term measure to enhance the quality and durability of the turf pitch of the Hong Kong Stadium, the Government carried out full reconstruction of the turf pitch of the Stadium in April 2015 in collaboration with The Hong Kong Jockey Club (HKJC). The scope of the reconstruction project included complete removal of the existing turf and soil, replacement of the whole underground irrigation and drainage systems, reconstruction of a new pitch with a reinforced sand profile and laying of new turf. We are grateful to The HKJC for providing full technical and financial support for the project. With The HKJC's rich experience and expertise in turf track construction and management, the project was delivered in a smooth and efficient manner. To express our gratitude to The HKJC, a commemorative plaque has been erected in the Stadium.
