Noise nuisance

There are more retired people in Tuen Mun. There are more than ten performing groups in the park. The so-called noise nuisance problem shows that there are not enough recreational facilities.

At present, part of the performances will be held in the open-air theatre beside the artificial lake. However, during the performance, there will be security guards at the side to monitor, so that they can give advice and assistance in case of violations or unpleasant incidents.
