If you are “new”parents, you could take your children to children’s playroom. The accompany of children is very important. Some parents told me that they were so tired after working but they still needed to play with their children during weekend. Parents live in City one that they can go to the children’s playroom with their children, as there is convenient for you, even you feel tired after working. Also, there have a outdoor sport climbing wall with 4 lanes, which is very special for me as there have less sport climbing facilities in sport centre in Hong Kong. However, this facility is only for use by holders of qualifications recognised by the relevant National Sports Association.
