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 (currently under redevelopment),
Yuen Long Swimming Pool (Figure 19) and Yuen
Long Park (Figures 20 and 21) are developed
in the western part of the New Town, forming a
distinct leisure, recreation and cultural cluster
for residents in the neighbouring areas. 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.
