    Question Jogging in To Kwa Wan? Old airport possible?

    Hi all, I'm trying to find a nice place to jog in in/near To Kwa Wan. Jogging in recreation parks is okay if there's nothing else, but it's boring and overcrowded.
    I was wondering whether the old airport is accessible?

    If my memory is correct the old airport is closed land as its privately owned but you should check it to be sure.

    I believe the old airport runway (at least partially) is used by some guys with their remote controlled air planes, so it must somehow be accessible.

    Nope...it's closed to the public. It's a construction site now for the upcoming residential estate.

    Don't forget the shopping center! Another one can't hurt I guess :-)

    There is also a group trying to bring back airplanes to Kai Tak (seaplanes actually).

    you could run to Hunghom and from then take the waterfront all the way to the TST Star Ferry

    A nice run and from Laguna Verde up to TST Star Ferry it is car free (or almost).
