[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, fitness corner for elderly and a children's play area. The facilities at the South Garden include a 7-a-side hard surfaced soccer pitch cum handball court, basketball courts cum volleyball court, fitness corner for elderly, pebble walking tiles 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.
