LARGE PARK FOR WAH FU AND ABERDEEN RESIDENTS
******
A LARGE PUBLIC PARK IS TO BE BUILT SHORTLY ALONG THE COAST NORTH OF WAH FU ESTATE. MEASURING ABOUT SEVEN ACRES IN AREA, IT WILL BE KNOWN AS WATERFALL BAY PARK.
DESIGNED BY HOUSING DEPARTMENT ARCHITECTS WHO WILL ALSO BE RESPONSIBLE FOR SUPERVISING ITS CONSTRUCTION, THE PARK WILL PROVIDE ADDITIONAL AMENITIES TO RESIDENTS OF BOTH WAH FU ESTATE AND ABERDEEN.
TENDERS WERE INVITED TODAY (FRIDAY) FOR THE CONSTRUCTION OF THE PARK WHICH IS EXPECTED TO START IN DECEMBER AND TAKE ABOUT 10 MONTHS TO COMPLETE.
THE ENTIRE PARK WILL BE TURFED, WITH CONCRETE FOOTPATHS LEADING TO PLAYGROUNDS AND SITTING OUT AREAS. THERE WILL ALSO BE PICNIC AREAS WITH BARBECUE STOVES, A KIOSK AND A CAR PARK.
A PAVILION WILL BE BUILT ON TOP OF THE 100-FOOT WATERFALL AT THE WESTERN END OF WAH FU ESTATE TO GIVE HIKERS A PANORAMIC VIEW OF WATERFALL BAY AND ABERDEEN.
THE HISTORY OF THE WATERFALL WILL ALSO BE INSCRIBED ON A PLAQUE NEXT TO THE PAVILION.
THE WATERFALL BAY PARK PROJECT WILL BE FINANCED BY THE
URBAN COUNCIL.
