Lam Wah Street Playground

To complement the Energizing Kowloon East initiative in transforming Kowloon East into another core business district and to improve walkability and the pedestrian environment, the Lam Wah Street Playground (the Playground) and the streetscape nearby are proposed to be improved.

The Playground was built in 1989 serving mainly the working population in the then industrial area. With the area transforming into a business area, the existing facilities of the Playground would need to be improved to cater for the changing needs of the community and the general public. The Playground lies along the East/West Section of the Green Spine which facilitates pedestrian movements within Kowloon Bay Business Area.

Open space at the junction of Sheung Yee Road/Kai Fuk Road

Under the project Improvement of Lam Wah Street Playground and adjacent area, the green coverage in the Playground will be increased with more bio-diversity in the planting species. The leisure facilities in the Playground will also be enhanced, including the reprovisioning of a 5-a-side soccer pitch for co-use as a handball court, and the provision of new facilities such as a fitness corner, a multi-purpose lawn and enhanced sitting-out areas.

The project is substantially completed.
