士美菲路市政大廈
Smithfield Municipal Services Building

士美菲路市政大廈於1995年落成，當時被稱為「市政局士美非路市政大廈」。該大廈的前身是堅尼地城屠房附屬的牛隻檢疫房。你能想像牛隻被屠宰前在區內流連的情景嗎？牛房於1986年關閉，改建為堅尼地城游泳池、士美非路街市及士美菲路市政大廈，以解決西區康樂設施短缺的問題。市政大廈的發展為區內的居民提供附助設施。

堅尼地城游泳池於1974年啟用，由市政局興建，是西區第一座公共游泳池。為了給堅尼地城站讓路，西祥北街2號興建了一個新游泳池，以取代舊游泳池。新的游泳館於 2011 年 5 月開放，成為該地區游泳人士的熱門地點。

The building was completed in 1995 and was then called “The Urban Council Smithfield Complex”.  It was formerly a cattle quarantine depot annexed to the slaughterhouse in Kennedy Town.  Can you imagine the time when the cattle roamed around the area before being slaughtered?  The cattle depot was closed down in 1986, and was redeveloped into the then Kennedy Town Swimming Pool, Smithfield Market and Smithfield Municipal Services Building to address the shortage of recreational facilities in the Western District.  The slaughterhouse was relocated to the then Kennedy Town Abattoir on Cadogan Street in 1968.  The development of the municipal building has provided supporting facilities to the residential neighbourhood in the vicinity.

The Kennedy Town Swimming Pool was opened in 1974. The pool was built by the Urban Council and was the first public pool in Western District. In order to make way for the Kennedy Town Station, a new swimming was built at 2 Sai Cheung Street North as a replacement of the old swimming pool. The new swimming complex was opened on May 2011 and became a popular spot for swimmers in the area.
