## Important interpretation rules

- Public jogging availability, a configured timetable source, and a current slot-level timetable are different facts.
- A turf-pitch closure does not mean the jogging track is closed unless the official notice says so.
- Fanling Recreation Ground has an official 418m one-lane public jogging track. Its LCSD timetable snapshot uses a separate six-lane availability grid.
- Siu Lun Sports Ground has a 350m one-lane jogging track and a separate six-lane 110m sprint track used by the timetable feed.
- Timetables and official notices can change after this site updates. The linked LCSD page is the final authority.
