NEW PLAYGROUND FOR TOKWAWAN
Residents of the Lok Man Housing Estate at Kau Pui Loong Road
will soon have a new playground for their leisurely enjoyment.
Covering an area of about 115,000 square feet, the playground
will be located at the western side of the estate in Tokwawan.
It will include a children's playground complete with swings,
slides and a merry-go-round.
The rest of the playground will be developed into a hard-surfaced
basket-ball court, and a rest garden with paved footpaths, flower beds and
park benches.
In addition, the Urban Services Department will plant trees and
flowers in the whole area, and provide park lighting for people who want
to take casual strolls in the evening.
The project is part of Government's efforts to provide more
pleasure grounds for people living in densely populated areas,
Construction of the playground is expected to begin in January
next year and should take about three months to complete.
