This
'his exciting playground, filled with brightly-coloured abstract sculptures, is proving a huge success with children in Hong Kong's Shek Lei resettlement estate. The playground, believed to be the first of its kind in South-East Asia, was created by American artist, Paul Selinger and was made possible by a donation of $150,000 from the Royal Hong Kong Jockey Club. The intriguing shapes of the sculptures present a challenge to the imagination of the children. As these pictures show, they have not been slow to take it up. The park includes such structures as 'the labyrinth' and the 'batwing slide', plus a sort of giant watch band the children can climb over. Mr Selinger says he wanted to provide some- thing people could look at and also use for recreation. He hopes this unusual playground will be the first of many.
