The Leisure Services Branch of the LCSD manages and develops recreational and sports facilities throughout Hong Kong, and provides a wide range of leisure services for the community. It also promotes nature conservation, and is responsible for planting trees and shrubs in public parks and recreational areas.
When planning new recreational facilities, the Branch collaborates closely with the various District Councils (DCs) to ensure the facilities cater for the community’s changing needs. Planning also takes into account recreational facilities provided by the private sector, and those available in neighbouring districts.
