NEW PARKS IN KOWLOON AND KWAT CHUNG
**
Work will begin soon on two new projects to provide additional
recreational facilities for Lo Fu Ngam and Kwai Chung.
A rectangular park, measuring about 83,000 square feet, is to be
built on top of the existing Lo Fu Ngam service reservoir at the south-
western side of Fu On Street.
It will consist of a rest garden with flower beds, park benches
and paved footpaths. Because of the proximity of the radar station for
the approach system to the airport runway, it has been decided not to
include any space for active sports such as football.
At the same time a rest garden will be built between blocks 14
and 22 of the Kwai Chung Resettlement Estate.
The garden, covering an area of about 12,000 square feet, will
include sitting out areas and flower beds.
Both parks should be completed in the early part of 1973.
