Recreation and Open Space
Within the New Town, land has been reserved for recreation facilities in accordance with the Hong Kong
Planning Standards and Guidelines. Yuen Long Stadium (Figure 19), Yuen Long Swimming Pool (Figure
20) and Yuen Long Park (Figures 21 and 22) are developed in the western part of the New Town, forming
a distinct leisure, recreation and cultural cluster for residents in the neighbouring areas. Yuen Long
Stadium, Long Ping Sports Centre, Fung Kam Street Sports Centre and Yuen Long Swimming Pool are
active recreational facilities in the New Town, while Yuen Long Park provides outdoor public space for
active and passive recreational uses, serving the needs of local residents as well as the general public.
To balance the dense development of the New Town, a landscape pedestrian walkway to the north of
Yuen Long Highway acts as both a key breezeway for the New Town and as a pedestrian connection
linking the planned open space to the south.
