Recreation fees slashed by up to $57

It'll be effective starting 1 October.

In a report, the Leisure & Cultural Services Department announced that fees for 280 community recreation and sports programmes will be reduced from October 1.

The programmes are mainly training courses and recreational activities held in urban areas and in the New Territories. Reductions will range from $1 to $57.

Other similar programmes will have adjustments made from the same day, including class size, instructor-to-participant ratio, facility-to-participant ratio and class duration.

Another 170 fees will also be reviewed, such as those for commercial, non-designated and non-sporting uses of facilities, after completion of the current fee adjustment exercise.
