Under the Dual-Use Scheme (DUS), there are free-to-play school fields and bookable school fields. No booking is required for free-to-play school fields, that is, members of public can access the facility spontaneously and at no cost. All bookable school fields under the DUS were almost fully-utilised in 2023.
