IMPROVEMENTS TO BOUNDARY STREET SPORTS GROUND FENCING
To Prevent Crowd Obstruction Outside Playground
Two concrete walls, both eight feet high, will be built on the
Boundary Street side of the Boundary Street Playground in Kowloon as
part of improvement work for the playground which is now intended to
be used for major league football games and other sports events.
The walls, one totalling about 200 feet in length and the other
280 feet, will form part of the existing perimeter fencing.
They will be positioned to the rear of the open gap between the
spectator stands so as to give the effect of preventing crowds gathering
outside the playground during football games or other sporting events,
thus causing obstructions to pedestrians.
On completion of the walls, the existing wire fencing between
them will also be raised to eight feet.
Other improvement and additional work such as increasing the
seating capacity to 10,000 had already been completed.
Work on the improvement to the perimeter fencing and building of
the concrete walls is expected to start next month and be completed by
September this year.
