Velodrome

The velodrome, which officially opened on 30 December 2013, comprises of a 250-metre long, 7-metre wide wooden cycling track surrounded by 2,000 fixed seats and 1,000 retractable seats. Supporting facilities include changing rooms, a press conference room, drug testing rooms, and a pressroom.

The space within the centre of the cycle track forms a multi-purpose area for basketball, volleyball, badminton, gymnastics and other sports, but the space is closed to the public whenever the cycling track is being used.

The remainder of the public sports centre is located on the ground floor, beneath the cycle track level, comprising of a table tennis room, a dance room, a fitness room, activity rooms, and a children's playroom.
The Hong Kong Velodrome Park is a 5.3-hectare park surrounding the velodrome building. The park includes grass lawns, a restaurant, artificial lakes, a concrete skatepark, a jogging track, chess tables, an amphitheatre, and a climbing wall.

The technical solutions used for this building were the Hager KNX lightning control and Berker B.IQ.
