A swimming pool in Wong Tai Sin District has undergone renovation works and added a number of new facilities. This swimming pool, which was also visited by Queen Elizabeth II, will give people a new look, and the much-anticipated indoor heated pool will be opened next week. Residents of Wong Tai Sin will swim in winter in the future. There will be one more choice!
The addition of a warm water pool to Morse Park Swimming Pool will be launched soon!Swimming-friendly devices for the disabled
The Morse Park Swimming Pool in Wong Tai Sin District was opened on December 3, 1970. It was the largest swimming pool in Hong Kong at that time. Queen Elizabeth II also visited it in person in 1975 and talked with swimmers! However, swimming enabled for many years, began to age. In 2018, the government rebuilt part of the swimming pool and added a warm water pool to meet the needs of residents in the area for swimming in winter.
The newly added indoor heated pool at Morse Park Swimming Pool will open to the public on March 22. Residents of Wong Tai Sin will still be able to swim indoors even in severe weather such as thunderstorms and strong winds. In addition to the pool, a swimming-friendly device for the disabled has been added in the venue. Swimmers with disabilities can use the device to assist in getting into and out of the water.
In terms of sanitation, the Morse Park swimming pool has introduced an automatic pool bottom cleaner commonly known as “water turtle”, which is responsible for removing debris in the pool. In addition to the indoor warm water pool, the outdoor main pool, diving pool and three practice pools, which were closed due to renovation works, will soon be unsealed and will open on April 16, 2023.
