PARK AND SWIMMING POOL COMPLEX FOR KWAI CHUNG
Work To Begin In February
The fast developing town of Kwai Chung will have a new park
complete with a swimming pool complex, children's playground and sitting-out
areas.
The park is to be built on a 258,000 sq.ft. site near the Kwai
Fong Low Cost Housing Estate at an estimated cost of over $5 million.
The main attraction in the park is expected to be the swimming
pool complex to be built on a design similar to the pools at Morse Park
and Loi Cheng Uk. It can accommodate 5,000 swimmers.
The complex will consist of a standard pool and a secondary pool,
both measuring 50 meters by 21 meters. But the secondary pool will be
slightly shallower than the standard one.
Also included in the complex will be a diving pool, three training
pools, a children's pool and a paddling pool.
A two-storey main building will house the general offices, changing
rooms, toilet facilities, a first aid room, spectator stands, and a cafe
and soda fountain.
Other features of the park will be children's play areas, a rest
pavilion, flower beds, turfing and sitting-out areas.
