PITCH TO CLOSE FOR TURFING
****
THE FOOTBALL PITCH OF TSUEN WAN SPORTS GROUND WILL BE CLOSED FOR THE FIRST TWO WEEKS IN JANUARY FOR TURFING.
THE TEMPORARY CLOSURE IS TO ALLOW TIME FOR THE SEEDING OF RYE GRASS WHICH GROWS BEST IN THE DRY WINTER MONTHS OF HONG KONG.
THE CLOSURE, HOWEVER, WILL NOT AFFECT THE JOGGING TRACK AROUND IT, WHICH WILL REMAIN OPEN AS USUAL.
THE FOOTBALL PITCH WILL BE REOPENED ON JANUARY 15.
