96. The statue of Queen Victoria which was removed from Statue Square during the Japanese occupation was re-erected on a new granite plinth in the Park. Work was completed in August.
97. Sketch plans were prepared and approved for a new swimming pool which is to be sited at the east end of the Park, with access from the Park or from Hing Fat Street. There will be three pools enclosed within the boundary walls—one large pool for adults, a smaller children's pool and a paddling pool. The main pool will be constructed to meet Olympic requirements and will be suitable for large scale competitions. To the west of the main pool will be a grandstand with accommodation for 2,000 spectators with a large restaurant adjoining. Below the stands and the restaurant will be the main entrance and changing rooms. Working drawings were well advanced by the end of the year.
