The sports ground was built by the Hong Kong government as part of the Tsuen Wan New Town development project.

[1] The site of the sports ground, once part of Gin Drinkers Bay, was reclaimed in the late 1960s.

The complex cost around HK$4.7 million, and initially included a full-size football pitch, two mini-pitches, two basketball courts, an eight-lane running track, and a 1,500-seat spectator stand with a canteen.

[2] On 1 January 2000, management of the sports ground was transferred from the Regional Council to the newly formed Leisure and Cultural Services Department.

The natural turf pitch is surrounded by an eight-lane, 400-metre running track which is regularly open for public use.
