The Leisure and Cultural Services Department (LCSD) has submitted a document to the North District Council, stating that the government plans to build a joint comprehensive building and a joint office building in Area 29 of Kwu Tung North.
The facilities will include fencing training and competition venues. They are expected to be able to host local as well as international-level events in the future. For the remaining time, the venues will be used for professional training or school competition venues, in order to meet the needs of sports development.
The document also mentions that the sports centre will include two multipurpose secondary arenas. These will provide a range of sports facilities and different indoor multipurpose courts, including pickleball, a ball sport that has been popular among residents in recent years.
In addition, the government currently plans to build an international-level competition swimming pool in the new development area of Kwu Tung North. This will replace the swimming pool originally suggested to be installed within the joint comprehensive building.
The swimming facilities in the swimming pool will be used not only for competitions, but also, at other times, will be opened for group rentals and public use.
The LCSD believes that the new deployment of sports facilities in Kwu Tung North can meet residents' needs in the district while promoting overall sports development for society as a whole.
