The ongoing spread of coronavirus has resulted in a global standstill. Social distancing regulations have led to the cancellation of festivals, concerts and many other events, while vacations and celebrations have been limited or suspended. However, with the pandemic being relatively under control in Hong Kong, we have been fortunate to have fairly relaxed social distancing measures in place. Even though we’ve been safely adjusting to the ease in restrictions, there is still an abundance of fun activities the city has to offer. In fact, you could say partaking in an activity you enjoy is especially important now during this pandemic.

Adopting the “new normal” of socializing responsibly, The Grounds at AIA Vitality Park is the first entertainment and recreational space in Hong Kong built for the era of COVID-19. The Grounds provides an environment for safe entertaining with socially distanced private pods enclosed within friendly garden picket fences. With family-orientated fun, wellness and fitness sessions, live music and a variety of food and beverage options, our guide to The Grounds at AIA Vitality Park will help you make the most of your “well-rounded" experience.

Film screenings and live music

The Grounds offers a diverse programming schedule which is updated on a weekly basis with tickets available for purchase online. The private pods are allocated on a first come, first served basis with either two-person or four-person options. Guests can anticipate a grand entertainment set up with a state-of-the-art sound system and enormous LED screen, complete with a high-tech stage. With a schedule packed with iconic films, Rugby Fanzon live broadcasts and live mini-festivals featuring local artists to bands performing well-known tunes for a classic singalong, The Grounds guarantees quality entertainment for all.

Wellness and fitness

Seeking some outdoor wellness and fitness exercises to escape the confines of home workouts? The Grounds offers a variety of activities to get your blood pumping. Participate in a yoga session with Lululemon’s Hong Kong ambassadors for a grounding yet revitalizing wellness session in the comfort of your private pod. The fund’s from Lululemon’s events will be donated to a dedicated charity that drives community support work. The Grounds will also be hosting Hong Kong’s largest fitness and wellness festival with a special edition of IRIS, “IRIS at the Grounds", from November 27-29. Guests can partake in three days of specially curated wellness activities from Hong Kong’s best instructors like Siena T, Utah Lee and Trixie Isla-Velez.

Fun for the whole family

For those searching for activities to do with children, The Ground’s provides family-friendly fun suitable for all ages. Enjoy a classic family game night with a life-size Jenga and check out the latest programming schedule for age-appropriate movies for an outdoor cinema experience complete with popcorn, ice cream and sweet treats galore.

Food and beverage

In collaboration with BaseHall, The Grounds provides guests with a seamless mobile ordering system to experience the flavors of Hong Kong’s diverse culinary scene from the comfort of your pod. From tacos and gourmet burgers to authentic Vietnamese and contemporary Korean (and even decadent desserts), The Grounds offers a wide range of culinary options that will surely satisfy your taste buds.

With a drink selection of cocktails, beers, wine, coffee, juice and more, The Grounds bar allows guests of all ages to enjoy an alfresco beverage in the heart of the city. Penfolds Max – The Grounds official wine partner – presents seven signature red and white wines that highlight the origins and grape varieties of South Australia – including the Penfolds Max series that pays homage to the legendary former Chief Winemaker Max Shubert – available both by the glass and by the bottle.

Health and safety

Apart from their entertaining activities, The Grounds prioritizes the health and safety of both guests and staff. All visitors must complete a health and travel declaration when purchasing tickets. Along with temperature checks and RAZE’s self-sanitizing technology at each entry and exit point, guests are also required to wear a mask when moving through the venue. Equipped with contactless ordering systems and socially distanced pods which are cleaned periodically between sessions, The Grounds ensures hygiene protocols are strictly adhered to.
