It will take its place in the pattern of leisure facilities in the New Territories. Last month I went to Yuen Long to open the new swimming pool complex. Other projects which will be completed later this year include the Sha Tin Recreation Ground, the Kwai Chung Swimming Pool and the North Kwai Chung Indoor Games Hall, another project to which Sir Shiu-kin Tang has generously donated $10 million.
The Sai Kung District Sports Association, with the sponsorship of the District Board, has organised a number of events at this sports ground since it was completed several months ago, including the Inter-District Soccer Competition. With such support from the Board and local initiatives, I am sure that it will become increasingly popular and provide great enjoyment for local residents and visitors alike.
Finally, may I once again thank Sir Shiu-kin Tang for his generous donation towards this project and may I also congratulate all those responsible for the planning, design and construction of this fine ground.
I take great pleasure in formally declaring open
the Sai Kung Tang Shiu-kin Sports Ground.
