Tai Po Waterfront Park — Attraction in Hong Kong

The Tai Po Waterfront Park is a 22 hectare city park situated on the northern shore of the Tolo Harbour. It opened to the public in 1997 and affords residents of Tai Po with well maintained and managed leisure and recreation space with good facilities and rewarding views of the harbour.

Quite a few buses call upon the park including those from the Tai Po Market MTR Station. You can also walk there from the station in 20-25 minutes. This is also a major stop on the very popular Tai Wan to Tai Mei Tuk bike trail.

The Waterfront Park has quite a lot to offer. There is expected grassy areas, children's playground areas, elderly fitness equipment, pebble walking trails, kite flying area, model boat pool, an insect house, sculpture installations, public toilets, bike rentals and parking areas and loads of promenade space directly on the sea.

A real highlight to visiting the Waterfront Park is the spiral-shaped lookout tower that is just over 32 metres in heigth, affording visitors really nice panoramic views of the harbour, nearby industrial park, the mountainous areas beyond Tai Po as well as the rest of the park, surrounding the lookout tower.

Overall, it is a really nice park and waterfront in the Tai Po area and a great stopping point to rest for those cycling...

Tai Po water Front Park This place is unbelievable big in the context of HK parks, incredibly diversified in various fields of nature. Just beautiful.

It is best to visit it by walking to its entrance at Tai Po Cycling path. The walking path is from Tai po market Train station to Nam wan road, passing through Kwong Fuk Estate by Plover Clove Road, then Tai Po Cycling path. Basically all the way by the right and along various cycling paths. The total distance is 1.4 Km. If by Taxi at Dai Fat St entrance of the Tai Po Water front park.

This park is large and therefore a full coverage will take about 3 hours. It is actually a flower garden(Roses, camellia , Cherry blossom, etc), with viewing Points, some categories of activities spaces- such as model boat pond, Childrens’ garden, kite flying etc., and walking paths. As it is a flower garden with viewing terraces . It is a good location for taking good and beautiful pictures.

Written on...

Pros: a nice huge park where you're allowed to walk and sit on the grass, anywhere.

Cons: An issue on transport: No, or simply lack of public transport in the park area. You can walk or ride your bike to get to the park, or cab it or Uber it. But from inside the park to get out and go home, you'll have to walk it. Or bike it. If you're not up for any physical exertion, just call the cab or Uber taxi. There is only one public bus that goes there, 72A kmb bus. But drops you at the farthest end of the park, comes every hour. FYI.

Suggestion: come prepared. Bring outdoor toys for kids to play. I saw a toddler with a bubble gun. Very efficient and attracts other kids to play together. There are drink vending machines near rental bike shops and toilets. The drink vending machines require octopus card for payments. They get sold out of drinks often in summer time.
