In addition to the recreational facilities, about 43 ha of land has been zoned as "Open Space" on the Tin
Shui Wai Outline Zoning Plan (OZP) for the provision of outdoor open-air public space for active and/or
passive recreational uses serving the needs of local residents as well as the general public. The open
space also forms part of the major pedestrian linkage in TSW New Town.

The open spaces also form major
visual corridors to provide a visual
linkage between TSW New Town and
the surrounding rural landscape.
Major open space provision include
the existing TSW Park, Tin Yip
Road Park and Tin Sau Road Park,
incorporating a visual corridor
running in a northwest to southeast
direction to provide the visual link
with Lau Fau Shan and Wang Chau.

Local open spaces (Figure 22) and amenity areas are provided within developments in the residential or
commercial zones to enhance the landscape character of TSW New Town.

Moreover, some existing ponds have been preserved in TSW New Town as landscape features and
incorporated into the Hong Kong Wetland Park to minimise the adverse impact on the wetland habitats of
these existing ponds.
