Programme Highlights

The Hong Kong Jockey Club's "Our Green Place" is a 510 square meter garden on the roof of headquarters building and is full of environmental elements. Its extensive use of plants not only transforms the roof into a bright and green area, but also creates a cooling effect for the building below. This in turn enables the Club to increase its energy efficiency, reduce carbon emissions and reduce energy costs.

A number of environmental friendly technologies have been adopted. For instance, the plants on the vertical green wall are irrigated by water discharged from the water-cooled chillers installed on the roof. Other features include solar-powered irrigation and lamps, eco-friendly timber decks and the use of eco-bricks made from recycled glass. The walls carry decorations made from used tyres, while the corridors display artistic metal sculptures created by Club farriers from recycled horseshoes.

The Hong Kong Racing Museum is located in the Happy Valley Racecourse and the covering area more than 6,000 square feet. Museum has eight exhibition halls, a theater can accommodate up to 84 people and gift gallery. The theme of the exhibition include Hong Kong horseracing history and development. Join us to explore more of this newly created green roof and learn more about horse racing development in Hong Kong. .
