The existing Morse Park Swimming Pool Complex was originally opened to the public on 3 December 1970 and it has served the nearby community for nearly 50 years. This project comprises of construction of a new indoor heated pool and provision of a new outdoor children's pool in place of the existing secondary pool and children’s pool.
A distinctive feature of the site is the view looking towards the infamous Lion Rock Mount which is symbolic to the city of Hong Kong. The disposition of the new indoor pool and the new children’s pool ensures unobstructed views towards the Lion Rock Mount.
