Kowloon Park — Attraction in Hong Kong

A Serene Escape in the Heart of Hong Kong

Nestled amid the urban buzz of Tsim Sha Tsui, Kowloon Park offers a refreshing oasis for locals and tourists alike. Spanning over 13 hectares, this lush green space is a testament to how nature and city life can harmoniously coexist. Despite being surrounded by towering buildings and busy streets, the park exudes tranquillity, making it a perfect retreat from the chaos of daily life.

One of the park’s most captivating features is its beautifully landscaped gardens, including the Chinese Garden with its lotus pond, rock formations, and traditional pavilion. The Aviary and Bird Lake are also popular spots, where visitors can observe flamingos, parrots, and other exotic birds in a peaceful setting. For those seeking quiet reflection, the maze garden and tree-lined walkways offer solitude and shade.

Kowloon Park isn’t just about relaxation—it’s a hub of activity. The park houses a large public swimming pool complex, a sports centre, and open spaces for tai chi, jogging, or simply lounging. On Sundays, the Sculpture Walk comes alive with street performers and cultural exhibitions, adding a vibrant layer to the park’s charm.

What makes Kowloon Park truly special is its accessibility and inclusivity. Whether you're a fitness enthusiast, a nature lover, a family with kids, or someone looking for a quiet bench to read on, the park welcomes all. It’s a rare gem in a city known for its fast pace and limited green space.

In essence, Kowloon Park is more than just a park—it’s a sanctuary. It reminds us that even in the most densely populated cities, there’s room for peace, beauty, and connection with nature. A visit here is not just a break from the city—it’s a breath...

Kowloon Park, used to be the British Army Barracks.. now one of the few public parks in Hong Kong, Kowloon, and the New Territories' without a Colonial Governors name. By pure chance, we stayed at the BP International Hotel, with a good view of this green park and the harbour of Victoria. BP International Hotel , still with some of the lower ground floors as the HK Boyscouts HQ Club etc. Perhaps most visitors (and even Locals) didn't know that on the 8th floor of the Boyscout's lifts (separate from the Hotel Entrance), there's hidden gem of a fantastic Chinese Restaurant. It's opening hours are from 12noon and then after Lunch from 6pm. The breakfast of the Hotel is not much to shout about. We found the Staffs of Hotel are extremely helpful and courteous.They went out of their way to assist the Hotel guests. The rooms are of rather small, the bathroom in particular, but the walk_in shower is most blessed. The small numbers of foreigners must be experienced travellers to pick this Hotel, with Taxi parking bay right in front of the Hotel... of course there are multiple choices of eateries fast cheap and mouth watering. Street shops which you can spend half a day by yourself. I found a small watch repair and battery (for 40 HK dollars)... Oh my wife bought me Three sets of pyjamas (correct size for orientals)! Each morning, you'll find a lot of people (young and old) doing their Tai Chi or various forms of exercises. Ah, on HK Streets, you don't see many cars and vans with the brand name "Ford". It might surprised you, there are Tesla's electric...

I came by this park to get my covid tests done every other day during December 2022, when tests were required to enter the hospital to visit my dad. The system was very organized, efficient, and convenient at this park, and as a foreigner visiting Hong Kong, I could easily download the app and log my info, and get tested for free. I was impressed and came here multiple times for my covid tests during my stay in HK. The park is huge, and I also had the chance to explore it one weekend when it was decorated for Christmas. Many locals and tourists were taking photos and enjoying the sunny weather. We happened to come across a lion dance competition where talented young men were performing and jumping on tall columns. It looked so scary but was a cool cultural performance to watch. On Sunday, I noticed there were many South East Asian women hanging out with their friends on cardboard boxes on the floor. Some were singing karaoke in the public, while others were just chatting happily. It was an interesting sight and it also felt like part of the Hong...
