Now considered a healthy sport, skateboarding is growing in popularity, with an estimated 4,000 skaters in Hong Kong.
To cater to this demand, the Leisure and Cultural Services Department has built an innovative skateboard park in Fanling. The On Lok Mun Street facility has seen more than 13,000 visits since its November opening.
A video and feature story exploring the skateboarding trend has been published on the news.gov.hk website today (May 20).
