Macau, China, March 30, 2020: The Municipal Affairs Bureau (IAM) of the Macau SAR Government has announced that a “green promenade” project with sports and recreation facilities along the peninsula’s south shore waterfront will start next month.
The large-scale project was announced by the bureau on Friday, reports the Macau News.
According to an IAM statement, the project will be launched in response to the public’s long-standing calls to beautify the shoreline of the Nape area.
The statement also said that the project was in line with the government’s intention of creating employment and business opportunities for individuals and enterprises.
The statement said construction of the promenade would start next month and proceed in several phases from the Macau Science Centre, Kun Iam Statue and finally reach the A-Ma (Ma Kok) Temple area, providing a large and diverse sitting-out area and recreation space to create a healthy city.
The first-phase Kun Iam Statue promenade covers about 15,000 square metres between the Macau Science Centre and the statue.
The facilities will include children’s playgrounds, walking paths, tea houses, multi-purpose pitches, fitness and recreation facilities, a gateball court, roller skating rink and other leisure and recreational spaces. There will also be an area that will connect the promenade to a cycling track to be built in the second phase of the recreation area.
The first phase is slated to be completed by the end of this year, while the second phase between Kun Iam Statue and A-Ma Temple will get off the ground later this year, the statement pointed out.
