MORE PLAYGROUNDS FOR WONG CHUK HANG
*
Eight playgrounds have been planned in the Wong Chuk Hang Estate
by the Urban Council to complement the existing playground between blocks
1 and 2.
The new playgrounds, with a total area of about 2.5 acres, will
be built on the open spaces among the various blocks.
Three basketball courts, a roller skating rink, a volleyball
court and two badminton courts will be included in the plans. Swings,
slides and roundabouts will be installed for the children of the estate.
A covered rest area, concrete benches and flower beds will also
be included in the construction to provide residents with pleasant sitting-
out areas.
Construction of the playgrounds is expected to begin in the
middle of next month, and should be completed in February, 1974.
