What are the manpower arrangements and expenditures involved, the numbers of toilets, baby care rooms and changing rooms as well as the details and expenditures on annual maintenance in each park in the past 3 years? Asked by: Dr Hon KWOK Ka-ki (Member Question No. 622) Reply: The Leisure and Cultural Services Department (LCSD) manages parks, gardens, playgrounds and sitting-out areas to meet both the active and passive recreational needs of the public. There are 500 parks and gardens currently managed by the Department. The number, distribution and facilities of parks and gardens are set out at Annexes I and II. The current provision of open space (including parks and gardens) is sufficient to meet the Hong Kong Planning Standards and Guidelines at the territory-wide and district levels. In general, parks, gardens, playgrounds and sitting-out areas are managed by the same team of staff. The LCSD does not have breakdown figures on the manpower and expenditures involved for parks in the past 3 years. As maintenance works of parks and gardens are undertaken by respective technical departments such as the Architectural Services Department and the Electrical and Mechanical Services Department, the LCSD does not have the details on the maintenance cost for each park.
