NEW CHILDREN'S PLAYGROUND ON CHEUNG CHAU
Built With Donation From Jockey Club
Children of Cheung Chau will have better recreational facilities
with the opening of a new children's playground at Tung Wan tomorrow (Friday).
The playground was built at the former site of Deacon Park, which
was damaged by a typhoon in 1967.

which undertook the planning and preparation of the project.
It was given material life by a generous donation of $75,000 from
the Royal Hong Kong Jockey Club, together with the assistance from the New
Territories Administration under the Local Public Works Vote.

Hong Kong Jockey Club.
