[Introduction]
The Shing
Mun Valley Park is located at Shing Mun Road, adjacent to Cheung
Shan Estate and Shek Wai Kok Estate in Tsuen Wan. It was formerly
the site of the Cheung Pei Shan Temporary Housing Area and temporary
playgrounds under the management of the Housing Department. Upon
demolition of the housing area and the playgrounds, the site was
developed into the Shing Mun Valley Park and the Shing Mun Valley
Sports Ground by the former Regional Council. They were open to
the public on 15 December 1997 and 1 August 1998 respectively.
The Shing Mun Valley Park
occupies an area of 10.73 hectares. Equipped with both active and
passive recreational facilities, it provides an ideal place for
sports and leisure for the public. The Park is divided into the
North Garden and the South Garden. The major facilities at the North
Garden include tennis courts and a children's play area. The facilities
at the South Garden include a mini-soccer pitch, basketball courts
and a children's play area. In addition, there is a four-tier artificial
water feature built on the natural terrain, which measures a total
of 3 500 square meters.
