Penfold Park

Penfold Park, Sha Tin: Pet-friendly lawns in the middle of the racecourse

Penfold Park sits in the centre of Sha Tin Racecourse and is built and managed by the Hong Kong Jockey Club. Its lawns and landscaped grounds are an officially recognised pet-friendly leisure space, which is handy if you want somewhere grassy for your dog in Sha Tin.

Several media outlets also reported a new "Pony Base Camp" after the park's renovation. One report mentioned a flat HK$50 for five interactive activities, and others said children can ride ponies and visit the stables. These reports centre on the opening period, so check the Jockey Club's latest information for current arrangements and fees before you go.

Treat it as a grassy option in Sha Tin for dogs; let the kids in your group decide on the pony activities.

Editor’s notePet access is officially recognised, and the lawns and landscaped grounds suit a Sha Tin dog outing. The pony activities come from media reports around the opening, so check the Jockey Club's latest arrangements before visiting.
