A growing number of Hong Kong people enjoy a varied selection of sports
and recreational facilities and activities. The LCSD develops and manages
facilities such as sports grounds, playgrounds, sports centres, holiday
camps, swimming pools and beaches. It also organises training courses,
sporting competitions and other activities for people of all ages and
abilities, and encourages passive recreation by providing parks and landscaped
open spaces.
In addition, the department administers subventions
provided to camps run by non-governmental organisations. There are 25
camps run by 12 separate organisations receiving subventions, and about
662 970 people participated in the activities organised by these camps
during the year. |
