The To Kwa Wan Promenade is converted from an emergency vehicular and maintenance access of the To Kwa Wan Preliminary Treatment Works on the waterfront.
Connecting the adjacent Hoi Sham Park, the promenade spans about 140 meters and covers an area of about 1 200 square meters.
It features a 12-meter-tall mural of the department mascot named Drainy, with unique seating areas. The award-winning designs of the Design Competition for the Public Art at To Kwa Wan Promenade and previous manhole cover design competitions are also on display.
The department also released an approximately 85-meter-long space atop the dry weather flow interceptor at the Cherry Street box culvert in Tai Kok Tsui, to develop an extension of the Hoi Fai Road Promenade.
The newly extended section covers an area of about 360 sq m and provides leisure space for the public with benches and green spaces.
Citizens can go to To Kwa Wan Promenade by walking for about 10 minutes from Exit D of the To Kwa Wan MTR Station via Hoi Sham Park or take various bus and minibus routes.
The newly extended Hoi Fai Road Promenade can be reached by walking for about five minutes from Exit A of the Olympic Station.
It can also be reached by taking various bus and minibus routes to the public transport interchange at Island Harbourview and then walk for about five minutes.
