Kowloon
Park
 Standing
on a small hill in the heart of Tsim Sha
Tsui, Kowloon Park, covering an area of
14 hectares, used to be the site of a military
barracks. It was open to public in 1989
and is the most popular park in Kowloon,
where many territory-wide functions are
held regularly.
Kowloon Park is a welcome respite
from the crowds of Tsim Sha Tsui. Located
above street level, the park has extensive
recreation and sports facilities, including
Chinese style gardens, an aviary, a sculpture
exhibit, an air-conditioned games hall and
an indoor heated Olympic-sized swimming
pool complex.
The major open-air attraction
is the Sculpture Walk. Its displays include
striking works by local sculptors and a
magnificent bronze statue by Scotland's
Sir Eduardo Paolozzi. Besides, The bird
lake which is crowded with beautiful pink
lesser flamingo and ducks is also particularly
striking.
Kowloon Park is also home to
the Urban Council Health Education Exhibition
and Resource Center, where you can see interactive
exhibits on health and Hygiene.
