Recreation
Because of the humid summer most sports are usually played in winter. Police teams compete in rugby, football, cricket, boxing, table tennis, fencing, basket ball, badminton. and other sports competitions.
There are two police clubs-the Hong Kong Police Sports Association in Kowloon-open to all ranks, and the Police Recreation Club in Happy Valley on Hong Kong Island, open to Inspectors and above.
Elsewhere in the Colony there are many private members' clubs.
The police own three sailing dinghies in a New Territories anchorage and members of the Force can use them free of charge.
Hong Kong has many fine sandy beaches and, on all but the coldest days, they are a natural attraction for swimmers.
