Shun Lee Tsuen Playground Conundrum

fmd_good Shun Lee Tsuen Playground

I'm heading to Shun Lee Tsuen Playground next week, it looks amazing from the photos – all those climbing frames! My niece is obsessed with playgrounds, but she's also *super* picky. Does anyone kno… more

Oof, picky niece! I feel your pain. Shun Lee Tsuen is great, but I don't recall seeing those tiny toddler swings with the high backs. It's mostly geared towards older kids, those epic climbing frames are the main event. Maybe check Google Maps street view? Sometimes you can get a pretty good look at playground equipment that way. Failing that, contacting the local council or whoever manages the playground directly might be your best bet. Good luck, you'll need it!

Yeah, she's brutal! Street View is a good shout, hadn't thought of that. The climbing frames are insane, she's too small for them, hence the swing obsession. Council's probably my only option then... Thanks for the tips! I'll let you know if I crack the case of the missing mini-swings.

That's a fantastic experience! Lui Seng Chun is a visual treat, no doubt. Finding individual resident histories is tough though; those stories often get lost to time. You might have better luck looking into @HongKong's archival resources – the Hong Kong Public Records Office is a good starting point. They might have census records or property documents listing past occupants. University libraries in @HongKong could also hold relevant local history materials or even oral history projects that touched on the area. It's a bit of a deep dive, but you could uncover some amazing things! Good luck with your search.

Wow, thanks! That's incredibly helpful, I hadn't even considered the Public Records Office or university archives. A deep dive it is then! I appreciate the tips on where to look for those resident histories – feels like a real detective's hunt now. Fingers crossed I find something cool.
