The Leisure and Cultural Services Department (LCSD) announced today (May 18) that Hing Wah Street West Playground will be opened on June 1. Located at the junction of Hing Wah Street West and Tung Chau Street in Sham Shui Po, the newly built playground is in the vicinity of several public and private housing estates and will become a popular recreational and leisure venue for the enjoyment of residents in the community.

     Hing Wah Street West Playground occupies an area of about 0.8 hectares, providing a wide range of leisure and sports facilities which will benefit people of all ages. The facilities include a seven-a-side artificial turf soccer pitch, a children's playground with a designated tricycling area, an area with fitness stations for the elderly, and landscaped areas and seating benches.

     In view of the local community's strong demand for more pet gardens, Hing Wah Street West Playground features the third pet garden in Sham Shui Po District for people to walk their pets and enjoy activities in the well-equipped open space.

     For enquiries, please contact the Sham Shui Po District Leisure Services Office of the LCSD at 2370 9193.
