A City A Story Photo Weekly Contest#24 -【GREEN】~小城故事相片比賽#24-【 綠】

The green place come to my mind is the Penfold Park Shatin, the same location of Sha Tin Racecourse! Except the horse racing date, they will open to the public, and they allow dogs.

Last week is Hazel, my dog's 11 years old birthday. We have picnic at here, prepare a birthday cake for her, and she play with other dogs happily!

我最先想到的綠色地方是沙田的彭幅公園，就是沙田馬場！除賽馬日外，他們會向公眾開放，最重要的是可以允許狗兒入內。

上周是我的狗狗Hazel的11歲生日，我們在這裡野餐，為她準備了生日了蛋糕，讓她跟其他狗狗愉快地玩耍！

The park was briefly called Infield Park at opening in May 1979. The chairman of the Jockey Club Board of Stewards, during the Stewards' annual general meeting on 17 September 1979, announced that the park would be named in honour of Major-General Bernard Penfold. The chairman explained that the Stewards "considered the beautifying of the in-field with shrubs and trees to be a characteristic example of General Penfold's many achievements. General Penfold, the manager of the Jockey Club who presided over construction of the park, was slated to retire the following year after seven seasons as general manager.

During the years after SARS, there have been a few slight bouts of bird flu, and the man-made lakes have been closed a few times to reduce the chance of visitors contracting the diseases. The Hong Kong Jockey Club announced that Penfold Park would be closed from the end of July 2007 to April 2008 for the construction of training facilities for the 2008 Olympic equestrian events. On January 17, 2009, the park is reopened for public once again.

該公園於1979年5月開放時簡稱為英菲爾德公園。賽馬會董事會董事會主席在小組於1979年9月17日舉行的年度大會上宣布，該公園將以伯納德彭福德少將。主席解釋說，小組認為美化田間灌木和樹木是彭福將軍多項成就的典型例子，負責主持公園建設工作的賽馬會經理彭福德將軍定於七年後擔任總經理，次年退休。

在SARS之後的幾年裡，出現了一些輕微的禽流感疫情，人工湖已經關閉幾次，以減少游客感染疾病的機會。香港賽馬會宣布彭福公園將於二零零七年七月底至二零零八年四月期間關閉，以興建二零零八年奧運馬術比賽的訓練設施。 2009年1月17日，公園再次重新開放。
