CHAI WAN COMMUNITY CENTRE
Residents in Chai Wan will not have to go far for recreational
and group activities when a community centre, now under construction
in the district, is completed by the end of this year.
The building cost of more than $2.3 million is being met by
the Hong Kong Council of Social Service. The centre will be named in
memory of the Council's late chairman, Mrs. Mary Wong.
It will be known as the Chai Wan Community Centre Mary Wong
Memorial Building.
It is a six-storey building and upon completion will be operated
by the Social Welfare Department.
The ground floor will accommodate a youth coffee bar, a basket-
ball court and a multi-purpose hall. The first, second and third floorS
will be used for community work, children, youth and adult group activities
and casework services,
A library with reading material suitable for both adults and
children will occupy the fourth floor, while the fifth floor will house a
nursery. The roof will be reserved for a playground.
Like other community centres, concerts, film shows and Chinese
operas will be organised for young and old alike. They will be able to take
part in social activities like painting and calligraphy, chess games, table
tennis, Chinese boxing and judo.
All the services will be managed by the Social Welfare Department,
the Chinese Young Men's Christian Association and the Salvation Army.
