The extension at Tai Tong will help meet the recreational needs in the area which is formerly a borrow area. Successful afforestation works have been carried out and various facilities including barbecue sites, picnic sites, nature education trail, tree walk, viewing points and other ancillary facilities have now been provided.
An order designating the area shown in the approved map to be Tai Lam Country Park will be published in the Gazette on Friday (April 7). The new map will be available for inspection at the Land Registry and for sale at AFD from April 7, 1995.
