Recreation and Open Space
The hills and mountain ranges of the hinterland form a unique
backdrop of the New Town, providing both visual relief and
identity. About 88 ha of land has been reserved for local
and district open space uses including both active and
passive recreational activities within the Fanling/Sheung
Shui New Town.
The North District Sports Ground (Figure 14) is a major
active recreation centre in the area, and the complex
includes a sports ground, swimming pool and a number
of ball courts suitable for basketball, volleyball and
tennis. The North District Park (Figure 15) is a key
open space area for the New Town. The park covers
an area of about 8 ha featuring an ornamental lake,
garden setting and children playing area located to
the west of Fanling Wai. Other major open spaces
and recreational facilities include the Wo Hing Figure 14: North District Sports Ground
Sports Centre, Po Wing Road Sports Centre, and
Sheung Shui Swimming Pool, etc.
