RECREATION GROUND FOR KWUN TONG

RESIDENTS IN THE INDUSTRIAL TOWN OF KWUN TONG WILL HAVE A 225,000-SQUARE-FOOT RECREATION GROUND NEXT YEAR.

THE RECREATION GROUND, SITUATED IN HONG NING ROAD, WILL HAVE FOUR MINI-SOCCER PITCHES, ONE BASKETBALL AND VOLLEY BALL COURT, A CHILDREN'S PLAYGROUND AND GARDEN AREA.

THERE WILL ALSO BE TWO BUILDINGS. ON THE GROUND FLOOR OF THE TWO-STOREY BUILDING WILL BE A KIOSK AND SHELTER. A CHILDREN'S LIBRARY, WITH AN AREA OF SOME 3,700 SQUARE FEET, WILL OCCUPY THE UPPER FLOOR.

CHANGING FACILITIES WILL BE PROVIDED IN THE SINGLE-STOREY STRUCTURE WHICH ALSO HOUSES THE WATCHMAN'S OFFICE.

A GOVERNMENT SPOKESMAN SAID THAT IN PAST YEARS MANY SITES IN KWUN TONG HAD ALREADY BEEN DEVELOPED INTO RECREATION GROUNDS AND THE CONSTRUCTION OF THIS NEW PLAYGROUND WOULD FURTHER BENEFIT RESIDENTS OF THIS DENSELY-POPULATED AREA.

CONSTRUCTION WORK IS EXPECTED TO BEGIN IN MAY THIS YEAR AND WILL TAKE ABOUT 10 MONTHS TO COMPLETE.
