The Home Affairs Department (HAD) announced today that the music fountains at Kwun Tong Promenade will be opened tomorrow.

The music fountains, near the entrance of How Ming Street, belong to a project recommended by the fourth term of the Kwun Tong District Council under the Signature Project Scheme.

The facility, built with the concerted efforts of the HAD, the Architectural Services Department and the Leisure & Cultural Services Department, will further promote the Kwun Tong Promenade as a leisure hot spot and enrich public enjoyment, the HAD said.

With an area of about 3,740 square metres, the site comprises music fountains, interactive wet play areas and an amenity lawn.

The computer programmed music fountains feature not only a background display with water jets in different patterns, but also the presentation of musical masterpieces during daily performance sessions, including one of the music pieces performed by the Hong Kong Philharmonic Orchestra.

The night shows further synchronise the music with kaleidoscopic beams.

There are three interactive wet play zones equipped with sensory devices, through which visitors can interact with water jets of various effects, providing a fresh experience for the visitors.

The service hours of the music fountains and interactive wet play areas are from 8.30am to 10.30pm daily. Three music fountains performance sessions are available from Monday to Friday starting at 1.30pm, 7.30pm and 8.30pm.

Additional sessions will be available at 10.30am and 9.30pm on Saturdays, Sundays and public holidays.
