Notes

1   Facilities which may also be provided indoors. However, indoor provision within Sports Centres on a share facility basis is normally considered as a bonus and does not count towards the HKPSG. In the absence of outdoor space, indoor provision within dedicated, purpose-designed, facilities may be countable.

2   Facilities which are normally provided in public housing estates as outdoor provision. Informal facilities such as kickabout areas or basketball shooting areas, and courts of minor sub-standard size may be acceptable and countable towards the standard of provision for recreation facilities in public housing estates which have obvious site constraints.

3   Optional facilities to be provided in public housing estates where site conditions permit.
