MORE PARKS AND PLAYGROUNDS TO BE FITTED WITH LIGHTING SYSTEM
******
THE URBAN COUNCIL IS TO SPEND $2.27 MILLION TO IMPROVE LIGHTING FACILITIES IN 12 PARKS AND PLAYGROUNDS IN THE URBAN AREA.
THIS IS PART OF THE COUNCIL'S ON-GOING PARKLIGHT/ FLOODLIGHT IMPROVEMENT SCHEME WHICH HAS BEEN CARRIED OUT FOR A NUMBER OF YEARS. SO FAR 12 PACKAGES OF PARKS AND PLAYGROUNDS HAVE BEEN DEALT WITH.
THE LATEST PACKAGE INVOLVES THE INSTALLATION OF NEW LIGHTING SYSTEM AT ABERDEEN SPORTS GROUND (RUNNING TRACK), TELEGRAPH BAY VILLAGE PLAYGROUND, THE ROLLER SKATING RINK IN KOWLOON TSAI PARK, LAM TIN ESTATE PLAYGROUND NO. 6, FUK WAH STREET REST GARDEN AND FUK WING STREET REST GARDEN.
THE EXISTING LIGHTING SYSTEM AT TSZ WAN SHAN ESTATE CENTRAL PLAYGROUND, TSZ WAN ROAD PLAYGROUND, WILLOW STREET PLAYGROUND, CHERRY STREET PLAYGROUND AND YAU MA TEI COMMUNITY CIVIC CENTRE REST GARDEN WILL ALSO BE IMPROVED.
A COUNCIL SPOKESMAN SAID THAT IN SELECTING THESE VENUES, A HIGHER PRIORITY WILL BE GIVEN TO THOSE PARKS AND PLAYGROUNDS WHERE THERE ARE NO EXISTING PARKLIGHTS OR FLOODLIGHTS.
OTHER FACTORS TAKEN INTO CONSIDERATION WERE THE POPULARITY OF THE FACILITIES WHERE BETTER LIGHTING WOULD ENHANCE THEIR USAGE, AND THE ADVICE OF NATIONAL SPORTS BODIES ON THE ILLUMINATION REQUIREMENT FOR A PARTICULAR VENUE.
