GO PARK Sai Sha, the sports and commercial complex within Sun Hung Kai Properties’ (SHKP) mega integrated development in Sai Sha, celebrated its grand opening today. This complex spans 1.3 million square feet and offers a diverse array of indoor and outdoor facilities for sports, entertainment, dining, and leisure activities.

The opening ceremony was officiated by Chief Secretary for Administration of the HKSAR Government Eric Chan, Deputy Director of the Liaison Office of the Central People’s Government Qi Bin, SHKP Chairman and Managing Director Raymond Kwok, Senior Director of Sun Hung Kai Real Estate Agency Limited Thomas Kwok, SHKP Executive Director Adam Kwok, and SHKP Executive Director Christopher Kwok. Approximately 1,000 guests, including students, teachers, mentors, and mentees from the Strive and Rise Programme gathered to celebrate this landmark addition to Hong Kong.

Raymond Kwok said, “The Sai Sha project is one of SHKP’s largest integrated developments in recent years—a vision that has taken decades to realize. GO PARK is set to become a new landmark for Hong Kong. Our commitment to ‘Building Homes with Heart’ drives us to showcase the stunning landscape surrounding Sai Sha, creating a beautiful backyard for every Hong Kong citizen. This new landmark is designed not only for public enjoyment of sports but also as an ideal gathering place for families, allowing parents and children to spend quality time together, including their pets. Our aim is to enhance the local community while attracting visitors from across Hong Kong.”

To promote sports for all at GO PARK, students from the Strive and Rise Programme were invited to experience the exciting new sport of pickleball during the opening ceremony, alongside Olympic gold medal-winning fencer Vivian Kong. As a strategic partner of the Strive and Rise Programme, SHKP had previously welcomed around 70 mentors and mentees to GO PARK Sai Sha for an engaging day of different sporting games.

Chief Secretary for Administration Eric Chan said, “I would like to thank SHKP for your unwavering support of the Strive and Rise programme. SHKP has consistently demonstrated its commitment to social responsibility, and today’s event is a true reflection of their belief in ‘Building Homes with Heart.’ We not only see their support for grassroots students but also their passion for fostering a caring and inclusive society. With continued collaboration among government, business, and community sectors, I firmly believe we can create a brighter future for the growth and development of our next generation.”

Adam Kwok said, “GO PARK makes excellent use of the beautiful coastline nearby, as well as the islands and country parks close in Sai Kung, perfectly blending sports, arts, hiking, water activities, retail and tourism into an all-round experience. As the only sports complex in Hong Kong operated by a private entity and open to the public, GO PARK has partnered with over ten sports associations and renowned sports academies to offer various programmes, ranging from beginner classes for the general public to training for the Hong Kong team. This initiative aims to promote sports in the community, support elite athletics and encourage the commercialization of sports. GO PARK also embraces the idea that ‘tourism is everywhere’, establishing itself as a new landmark for the integrated development of sports, culture, and tourism. Beyond sports, the new development features over 40,000 square feet of children’s play facilities, complemented by a diverse range of tenants and restaurants and a pet park. This makes GO PARK well equipped to meet the needs of different families and serve as a new gathering spot for families of all generations.”

SHKP has been a strong supporter of the Strive and Rise Programme. Over the past two consecutive cohorts, more than 200 SHKP employees have volunteered as mentors each year. In addition to mentoring efforts, SHKP has made donations and organized various activities to help participants find their paths. For the new term in 2025, over 200 employees have already signed up to serve as mentors.

Sun Hung Kai Properties (SHKP) welcomed mentors and mentees from the Strive and Rise Programme to the soon-to-open GO PARK Sai Sha last Saturday for an exciting day of emerging sports.

On the morning of the event, around 70 mentors and mentees gathered at MTR University Station and took a short 10-minute ride to GO PARK Sai Sha. For many, it was their first visit, and they were captivated by the scenic beauty of mountains and sea.

GO PARK Sai Sha provided the participants with the chance to try their hand at padel, pickleball and outdoor climbing. The facility boasts five padel courts and Hong Kong’s only two outdoor pickleball courts. Under the guidance of professional coaches, the participants showed great enthusiasm for the sports. Some mentioned that although it was their first time playing padel, it was easier to learn than expected, and looked forward to more opportunities in the future. Following the sports sessions, everyone enjoyed a delightful lunch at the SPORTS bistro. 

As a strategic partner of the Strive and Rise Programme, SHKP has supported the initiative for two consecutive terms with over 200 SHKP employees volunteering as mentors each year.
