According to the Master Layout Plan approved by the Town Planning Board in 2003 and 2006, the area of Ma Wan Park, which is to be developed in two phases, is about 19 hectares. There are three facilities in Phase I, namely Nature Garden, Noah's Ark and Solar Tower. The refurbishment of the Ma Wan Old Village falls under the Phase II development. The Nature Garden is an ecological park with different themes. The Noah's Ark is a multiplex centre which is equipped with such facilities as multi-purpose hall, exhibition venues, activity centres, function rooms and guesthouses. The Solar Tower is an education centre.
     The completion date of Phase I will be December 2008 as approved by the Government. The Nature Garden was completed in July 2007 and the Noah's Ark is anticipated to be completed before the end of 2008. The Solar Tower project, which will depend on the progress of a revised road scheme, is expected to be completed within two years following the authorization of the revised road scheme.
