Ma Wan · New Territories · Outdoor
Pak Lam Road Garden (LCSD)
“A single free outdoor badminton court in a small LCSD garden on Ma Wan, a couple of minutes from the Park Island village. It is not one of LCSD's designated pickleball courts, so there are badminton lines, a badminton-height net if any, and no floodlights: bring a portable net and play in daylight. Handy if you live on Park Island; not worth a ferry otherwise.”

Pricing & hours
What it costs, and when.
First-visit plan
Can I show up as a beginner?
Only with caution. Treat this as a known court, not necessarily a first-game landing spot.
Do I need my own gear?
Bring your own paddle and balls unless the organizer says otherwise — don't assume loaners are available.
What should I verify first?
Open hours, whether pickleball lines and nets are set up, current price, and whether you need a full group.
What works
- Genuinely free, quiet island setting
- Two minutes from Ma Wan village
What to know
- Not on LCSD's pickleball scheme; badminton lines and bring your own net
- No lighting, so daylight only
- Ferry or bus from Tsing Yi to get there
