MacLehose Trail
The barracks were used until 2008 as the final checkpoint and finish line for the annual Trailwalker event along the MacLehose Trail. In 2009, the Trailwalker route changed to end in Tai Tong, Yuen Long, however this proved to be only a temporary move. After the southern portion of the barracks facing Castle Peak Road was demolished and the new campus of Chu Hai College of Higher Education was constructed on the same site, it was re-established as the finish line of Trailwalker in 2019.
