The Cultural Affairs Bureau (IC) launched a kids’ temporary mini karting track at the Macau Outdoor Performance Zone in Cotai yesterday, which ran from 10 a.m. to 12 p.m.
The bureau said in a statement that, based on the results of yesterday’s trial operation, it aims to expand the functional use of the venue and announce the official opening arrangement in due course.
IC Deputy Director Cheang Kai Men told reporters yesterday that both the order and safety during yesterday’s trial run have been ideal, so that his bureau plans to open it every weekend and public holidays.
The mini karting track is designed for children aged 2 to 8 and features a mini track and kid-sized four-wheeled vehicles, attracting on its launch day around 500 parents and children to participate, the statement noted, adding that through the parent-child activity, families can experience the joy of sport and enhance family interaction.
3x3 court
Meanwhile, a three-a-side basketball court (3x3 court) will also be added to the Outdoor Performance Zone for public use in the future. Both the three-a-side basketball court and the mini karting track will be available to the public when no performances are scheduled there, aiming to improve the flexibility and overall benefits of the large-scale venue. The bureau is currently conducting relevant preparatory work for the additions, the statement added.
Further details on the opening of the 3x3 court and the mini karting track will be announced on the website www.icm.gov.mo/outdoorvenue.
