📍 Sha Tin, New Territories
A 20-acre open-lawn park set within Sha Tin Racecourse. Features expansive picnic-ready grass, a children's playground, walking paths, and an Olympic torch from Beijing 2008. Free parking for up to three hours.
Very big grassy park with human amenities. It is not completely fenced....so if your dog is not recall trained, dont let them off leash.

Best for families who want genuine open-grass space for picnics, ball games, and free-range toddler play. School groups book it heavily on weekday mornings. Dog owners rate it among Sha Tin's top spots. Families arriving on race days will find access restricted and hours cut short.

Overview
Penfold Park sits at the centre of Sha Tin Racecourse, encircled by the track and surrounded by Fo Tan's residential towers.
