Recreation and Open Space
About 300 ha of land have been zoned "Open Space" in the New Town 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.

active recreational venues, where sports ground,
swimming pool and a number of basketball and
