The Energizing Kowloon East initiative was extended to San Po Kong in October 2017. It was put forward in the 2018 Policy Address that the principle of “single site, multiple use” would be adopted to provide underground public car parking spaces, with the application of smart parking system, at the public open space site at Sze Mei Street and to enhance and increase leisure, recreational and sports facilities of the Kai Tak East Sports Centre and the Kai Tak East Playground.

In order to enable the public to enjoy the open space as early as possible, the project implementation was split into two phases. The first phase covers the area adjoining Rhythm Garden and King Tai Court, which was implemented by the Housing Department and opened to public in August 2021 to become the Kai Tak East Park. Second phase will include provision of underground car parking, improvement of district open space facilities and an reprovision of East Kai Tak Sports Centre , the works commenced in May 2022 for target completion in around 4 years.
