MORE PLAYGROUNDS IN DENSELY POPULATED AREAS
Three new playgrounds and sitting out areas will soon be constructed
in densely populated areas on both sides of the harbour to provide much-needed
recreational space.
Two of the sites, one in Ngau Tau Kok and another in George's Lane
in Central District, were former dumping spaces recently cleared for development
in connection with the current "Keep Hong Kong Clean Campaign",
The Ngau Tau Kok site has an area of about 20,000 square feet, and
is situated at the junction of Kwun Tong Road, Lai Yip Street and Ngau Tau
Kok Road.
It will be developed into a temporary rest garden and playground with
two hard-surfaced basketball courts. Concrete benches will be provided by the
side of these courts for spectators.
In addition, the area adjacent to the roads will be turfed and planted
with trees and flowers.
Another former litter "black spot" in George's Lane near Staunton
Road in Central will be developed into a temporary sitting out area.
It will have an area of about 1,850 square feet, including a rest
graden, park benches and flower beds.
A third playground will be built shortly on an ex-quarry site at Basel.
Road in A Kung Ngam in Shau Kei Wan.
