Urban Services Buildings and Recreation Areas
2.59. The final stages of Kowloon Tsai Park were completed and six playgrounds, sports grounds and parks at various locations in the urban areas and in the New Territories were either finished or in course of formation.

2.60. Three public latrines and bathhouses were completed in various localities and five others were in course of construction.
2.61. Three beach buildings were constructed at Big Wave Bay, Shek O and St. Stephen's Beach. These buildings provide a refreshment kiosk, changing and toilet facilities for members of the public, a beach-guard office, first aid post and catamaran store.

The Kennedy Town Abattoir will provide lairage for 1,000 head of cattle, 9,500 pigs and 400 sheep and goats in a five-storey building and the four-storey slaughterhouse will contain slaughter halls for processing some 210 cattle, 3,200 pigs and 50 sheep and goats in an 8-hour day. Refrigerated storage will be provided to accommodate 150 beef, 1,200 pork and 60 mutton and goat carcasses. Similar but slightly reduced provision will be made in the Cheung Sha Wan Abattoir.
