Opening of The Water Sports and Recreation Precinct in Wan Chai Waterfront Promenade — A fun and inclusive leisure space 灣仔海濱長廊「水上運動和康樂主題區」正式啟用

4/1/2022

Advocating for better connected and walkable waterfronts in Hong Kong, the Coastal Trails Project of Designing Hong Kong has been proposing initiatives and improvements towards government officials. With combined efforts, the water sports and recreation precinct of the Wan Chai Waterfront Promenade had its grand opening at Christmas Eve and became a new festive attraction. 

The newly opened precinct is located on reclaimed land of the Wan Chai Development Phase II project under the Development Bureau which connects Admiralty and Wan Chai. The precinct occupies 5200 sq. m of the Promenade's 7800 sq. m of public open space. According to the Development Bureau the freshly opened space is mostly a lawn for strolling and playing. The recently opened precinct provides docking facilities for water sports and leisure activities. Open grassland, furniture and play facilities are open 24/7, and designed to be pet and child-friendly.

To improve the connectivity between the Wan Chai hinterland and the harbourfront, the Civil Engineering and Development Department is constructing a viewing deck across Lung Wo Road and the exit of the Central-Wan Chai Bypass. A shared track for pedestrians and cyclists along the northern shore of Hong Kong Island is another plan to be implemented in early 2022. 

The Waterfront Promenade is accessible by the Ferry, buses and MTR. It is reachable by a 15 min walk from the Wan Chai MTR station or a 10 min walk from the Central Piers or Wan Chai Ferry Pier. You can enjoy a weekend with your family and pets while looking at the new amazing panoramic view of the Victoria Harbour.
​創建香港透過「港島環島徑」的構思,一直致力提倡拉近市民以及岸邊的距離,並希望有關部門可以開放海旁用地予市民遊客使用。經過多年的努力以及與有關部門商討,在灣仔海濱的「水上運動和康樂主題區」終於在聖誕節前夕向公眾正式開放。

主題區位於灣仔北臨時公共運輸交匯處至鴻興道天橋對開, 是「灣仔發展計劃第二期」新填海的土地一部分。新開放的空間面積為5200平方米, 為市民提供可散步及玩樂的地方。主題區以本地創作可通人物「chocolate rain」 和水上運動為題,提供多個巨型畫作讓人欣賞。區內亦採用了海岸堤階設計,海岸堤階為梯級形狀,刪去欄杆,從而體現親水文化。另外。項目也提供涼亭,桌椅和光景小丘,讓遊人閒坐歇息,欣賞遼闊的維港景致。 

為提升灣仔內陸至海濱的通達性,土木工程拓展署亦正興建橫跨龍和道和中環灣仔繞道出口的園景平台。此外,署方正籌備落實規劃中的港島北岸行人及單車共融通道,可望於今年年底至明年初開始推行有關計劃。

灣仔海濱長廊能夠以渡海郵輪,巴士以及地鐵到達。市民可從金鐘港鐵站經添馬公園、或從中環碼頭或灣仔渡輪碼頭步行約八至十分鐘到達灣仔海濱長廊。海濱公園採用小孩和寵物友善設計,市民能與家人和寵物一起到灣仔海濱享受各種休閒設施及欣賞遼闊的維港景色。

The Opening of the East Coast Park Precinct (Phase 1) in Fortress Hill  炮台山東岸公園主題區(第一期)正式啟用

6/10/2021

0 Comments

 
Designing Hong Kong has been long advocating for better accessibility to the waterfronts for the general public. Along with the proposal of the Island Coast Trail, it is hoped that open space along with the coastal areas could be expanded for public usage. After years of discussion and assiduous efforts, the East Coast Park Precinct (Phase 1) in Fortress Hill is finally opened for public usage.

Before the development of the East Coast Park, the harbourfront in the Fortress Hill Area has been predominated by industrial uses and the construction of the Central-Wan Chai Bypass. The opening of the Precinct interconnected the harbourfront areas of Fortress Hill. The opening of the precinct has enabled citizens to enjoy the stunning view of Victoria Habour in proximity, with the breakwater that situated the maintenance path to the shaft used by the Central-Wan Chai Bypass opened for public access.  The Precinct has also hosted an abundance of leisure facilities. Such facilities include a ground for riders of balance bikes, slides & safety floor mat and a lawn area with benches and shelter. Citizens could bring along their pets and kids, and enjoy some decent family time in the precinct.

The opening of the Precinct has symbolized better connectivity to the East Coast of Hong Kong Island. The upcoming development of the East Coast Park has further stretched the existing promenade along Victoria Harbour to 25 kilometres, with other sections including the Pierside Precinct (Phase 2), the Water Sports and Recreation Precinct (Phase 2) and the Revitalised Typhoon Shelter Precinct expected by the end of the year. Together with the ongoing development of the Broadwalk underneath the Island Eastern Corridor, better connectivity along the East Coast of Hong Kong Island could be much expected. Thanks to the continuous improvement work planned in the harbourfront areas, the Island Coastal Trail project proposed by Designing Hong Kong would be coming to fruition in the coming years.

The precinct can be reached from the Fortress Hill MTR Station within a 7-minute walk. From the Exit A of the MTR Station, visitors can walk along Oil Street to the Electric Road, and walk to the end of Watson Road to reach the precinct. You can also further explore the Eastern Harbour Walk of the Island Coastal Trail, and visit the harbourfront in North Point or Causeway Bay, to enjoy the mesmerising view of the Victoria Harbour.

創建香港一直致力提倡拉近市民以及岸邊的距離,並提出「港島環島徑」的構思,希望有關部門可以開放海旁用地予市民遊客使用。經過多年的努力以及與有關部門商討,在炮台山海濱的「東岸公園主題區(第一期)」終於在日前向公眾正式開放。

東岸公園原用地一直都用作工業以及中環灣仔繞道工程用地之用。剛開放的東岸公園主題區把炮台山一帶的海傍貫穿,並開放通往中環灣仔繞道東面排風口的維修徑的防波堤,讓市民可以近距離欣賞維港的景色。 除了首條向公眾開放的防波堤,場地亦設有兒童平衡車試驗空間,遊樂滑梯和安全地墊,亦有草地、座椅、遮陽設施等供予市民消閒,市民亦可帶同繫上牽繩的寵物到訪,讓一家大細可以在場地盡情享受家庭樂。

主題區的啟用亦象徵維港海濱進一步與向東連接。政府預料東岸公園的『渡輪碼頭畔主題區(第二期)』、『水上運動及康樂主題區(第二期)』,以及『活力避風塘主題區』將會在本年底前逐步開放,讓向公眾開放維港海濱進一步延長至25公里。加上東區走廊下之行人板道預料在2024年開放,市民屆時可以沿著維多利亞港海旁由港島西步行至鰂魚涌一帶,亦令創建香港一直倡議的「港島環島徑」能夠進一步實現。

若有興趣到訪的市民, 可以從炮台山A出口出發,經油街轉入電器道,至屈臣道街尾即可到達主題區,步程約7分鐘。市民到訪主題區後,亦可隨著港島環島徑的維港東段,沿著海旁步行至銅鑼灣或北角,沿途欣賞維多利亞港的迷人風景。

港島環島徑—最新消息 (2021年8月)

​創建香港從去年起推動港島環島徑的構思,一直與不同的政府部門、機構及持份者溝通,希望共同努力將這條65公里長的環島徑盡早打通。以下是各個改善項目的最新進度:

主要改善工程:
  1. 躍動港島南辦事處正就興建大口環至綱綫灣沿海行人路進行研究。
  2. 橫跨瀑布灣的行人天橋將連接起數碼港道及瀑布灣公園,省卻來往數碼港及華富的時間。在工程開展前,康樂及文化事務署與其他相關部門需要先釐清天橋的管理及維修責任等。
  3. 興建連接鶴咀道至石澳的行山徑已在南區區議會的地區小型工程申請中獲得原則上支持。現正等候民政署的撥款才能開展工程。
  4. 就改善筲箕灣及杏花邨之間的行人連接,康文署已經初步拒絕開放海防博物館供市民通過的建議。我們正與運輸署聯繫,希望在東區走廊旁研究設立一條安全的行人通道作為替補方案。
  5. 土木工程拓展署已就東區走廊下興建行人板道刊憲。工程預計於今年年尾展開,並在2025年落成。

其他改善工程:
  1. 信德中心地面的違例泊車問題已經解決。我們現正聯絡物業的擁有人信德集團,討論改善地面行人設施的可能性。
  2. 康樂及文化事務署及水務署將分別進行小型工程搬遷西區食水賣水站旁小徑的花槽和鐡欄以擴闊行人路。
  3. 中西區區議會已通過撥款在加多近街臨時花園對出興建臨時海濱,並連接到即將重建的招商局碼頭海濱。
  4. 就拆除瀑布灣公園內的鐡閘,我們已去信康樂及文化事務署,並正等候部門的回應。
  5. 黃竹坑道和香島道部份地方的行人路因鄰近的短期租約用地而變得狹窄。我們已向地政署查詢有關短期租約的情況,當中黃竹坑道的部份,海洋公園已答應縮減苗圃的面積供擴闊行人路。
  6. 就改善深水灣行人路,需要有全盤的計劃去重新規劃深水灣的道路、泊車位及康樂設施。我們正等待政府在2019年開展的「氣候變化和極端天氣下的沿岸災害研究及改善措施的制訂」的研究結果才進行進一步的研究。
  7. 連接南灣至舂磡角的山徑已在南區區議會的地區小型工程申請中獲得原則上支持。現正等候民政署的撥款才能開展工程。
  8. 赤柱峽道的行人路非常狹窄,但每天仍有行山人士沿這條路來往赤柱及行山徑的入口。我們已經聯絡運輸署希望盡快進行工程擴闊路段以確保路人的安全。
  9. 現時鶴咀道並未設有行人路,導致行山客需走到馬路上。我們已聯絡運輸署希望盡快研究為路段舖設行人路。
  10. 每日都有大量居民及遊客來往石澳至大浪灣之間,但兩地之間的馬路並沒有設有行人路。我們亦聯絡了運輸署為此路段興建行人路進行研究。
  11. 位於西灣河海濱的水警總區總部現時以臨時撥地方式批地予警方使用。現時總部隔開了西灣河海濱及愛秩序灣海濱,令東區的海濱未能連接。
  12. 現時鰂魚涌公園並未容許寵物進入。康文署表示將會繼續收集更多社區的意見,再檢視是否將公園列入現行的「寵物共享公園」試驗計劃。
  13. 擴闊鰂魚涌海濱長廊仍需要發展局轄下的海港辦事處的批准和與相闦的土地擁有人商討。
  14. 有關改善北角海濱公園,海港辦事處與發展商新鴻基已進行溝通並進行工程。
  15. 中環軍用碼頭原訂會在無軍艦停泊時開放予公眾。這需要駐港解放軍與管理海濱用地的部門例如康樂及文化事務署等商討。
  16. 就設立統一的環島徑指示牌,我們已經主動聯絡旅遊事務署並正等待他們的回覆。

已完成:
  1. 鴻興路行人路於2021年1月已經開通。加上鄰近的灣仔臨時海濱亦開通,現時市民已經可以沿港島北的海濱由堅尼地城一直走到銅鑼灣避風塘。
