60,000 participants join successful stress test at Kai Tak Sports Park

The goal was to ensure the park’s readiness for its opening this quarter.

A stress test involving over 60,000 participants at the Kai Tak Sports Park was conducted smoothly, said Chief Secretary Chan Kwok-ki.

The test, held on 23 January, aimed to evaluate the operation and capacity of the park’s three venues and surrounding facilities during high-attendance events. The goal was to ensure the park’s readiness for its official opening in the first quarter of this year.

“I really do not see any bottleneck actually, because the situation, I would say, is far better than my expectation,” said Chan, adding that arrangements for entry, exit, and public transport became more refined and orderly throughout the test.

He also expressed appreciation for the coordination of various government departments, KTSP Limited, and public transport operators. Special thanks were given to the participants, including civil servants, local residents, and community members, for their cooperation. The test also highlighted that all units involved were able to respond promptly to simulated emergencies.
