Before closure, it had only water storage capacity of just , only 38% of the size of its Pok Fu Lam counterpart. Because of its small water storage capacity, the British Hong Kong Government decided to cease operations at the reservoir. The reservoir was then converted to Wong Nai Chung Reservoir Park and opened to the public in 1986. It now provides water sports facilities like sampans and boats. Some of the components of the reservoir, including the weir, the dam and the valve house, were classified as Grade III historic buildings. 〔(Wong Nai Chung Reservoir )〕〔(Wong Nai Chung Reservoir Park )〕〔(List of Graded Historic Buildings in Hong Kong (as at 7 Nov 2008) )〕 A total of 41 pre-World War II waterworks structures located in six reservoir areas, namely Pok Fu Lam Reservoir, Tai Tam Group of Reservoirs, Wong Nai Chung Reservoir, Kowloon Reservoir, Shing Mun (Jubilee) Reservoir and Aberdeen Reservoir, were declared as monuments in September 2009.
