COMMUNITY CENTRE FOR CHAI WAN RESIDENTS
Chai Wan residents will soon have their own multi-purpose community
centre for housing group activities and welfare services.
The new Chai Wan community centre, situated at Wan Tsui Road, will
have a six-storey block, a single-storey hall and an open basketball court.
Tenders for the project are now being called and it is expected that
work will begin in August.
A youth bar, changing rooms and administration offices will be located
on the ground and first floors.
Rooms for practical training classes and conference purposes, will
be provided on the second and third floors. They will be used for holding
group activities for children, youths and adults.
A library with reading material suitable for both adults and children
will be housed on the fourth floor, and on the fifth floor there will be a
children's day-nursery catering for youngsters aged between two and six whose
mothers work during the day.
Apart from the roof of the high block, which is designed as a play
area, the multi-purpose hall will also be available for various kinds of
activities ranging from indoor sports to social gatherings.
The hall will have seating capacity for about 500 people.
On completion, the Chai Wan Community Centre will be the sixth such
centre in densely-populated areas operated by the Social Welfare Department,
Others are the Wong Tai Sin Community Centre, the Kwun Tong Community
Centre, the Tai Hang Tung Community Centre, the Princess Alexandra Community
Centre in Tsuen Wan, and the Yuen Long Town Hall in Yuen Long.
