The Service reservoir was rebuilt in the early 1950s, and later, tennis courts were installed on top.

This is at the Hong Kong island end of the under-sea pipeline from Lantau, which brings water from the Shek Pik reservoir.

A second pipeline runs from the pumping station uphill to the Mount Davis service reservoir.

The WSD website says:

The Plover Cove Reservoir, located in the Pat Sin Leng and Plover Cove Country Park, is the second largest reservoir in Hong Kong. It is also the first 'reservoir in the sea' over the world.

The massive construction work of the reservoir is a project that had never been attempted anywhere in the world. Engineers dammed the inlet, pumped out the sea water and filled it with fresh water.

date of construction is approximate.

Completion date from Wikipedia.

The WSD website says:

Current documents talk about this as the "Elliot Pumping Station".

The 1926 report about the landslip called it the "No. 3 Pumping Station".

There are some notes about it on the Wikipedia Page for Choi Sai Woo Park.

I'm not sure of the date it changed from reservoir to park. In the book Mapping Hong Kong, the 1964 map (plate 3-6) shows it as "Braemar Reservoir", but the 1990 map (plate 3-7) shows it as "Choi Sai Woo Park", so sometime between those two dates.
