The government announced yesterday further details of its plan to build a sports park, i.e., a park featuring various sporting facilities, on the plot of land where the former greyhound racetrack (Yat Yuen Canidrome) is located, according to which four sports pavilions will be built there, including one specifically for children.
The government announced basic details of the project in July last year.
The Public Works Bureau announced the project’s further details on its website yesterday.
The website points out that the ex-greyhound racetrack plot in Fai Chi Kei where the sports park will be built covers an area of 40,425 square metres.
According to the website, a one-floor underground carpark will be built there, providing about 490 parking spaces for cars and motorcycles.
The No. 1 Pavilion, according to the website, which will have four floors, will have a swimming pool, basketball courts, a running track and a cycle path for children.
The six-floor No. 2 Pavilion will have a skatepark, an area for table tennis, wall climbing facilities, volleyball courts, and badminton courts.
The five-floor Pavilion No. 3 will have a five-a-side football field, a two-storey multipurpose room, and multifunctional activity rooms.
According to the website, the children’s pavilion will have an outdoor activity area, an indoor playground, creative classrooms, and a reading area, and activity rooms.
The current outdoor running track will be kept intact.
