A Flamboyance of Flamingos
Jan 2021
This is not a must-see but entry is free and it is an interesting diversion if you have the time and you want to escape the crowds.
The highlights are the pink flamingos, the garden maze and the large outdoor sculpture walk.
With over 120 flamingos, I was prompted to look up what a group of flamingos is called. They are very pleasingly called a ‘flamboyance of flamingos’. We noticed that some were taller with a much whiter plumage. These were the Greater Flamingo whilst the smaller, pinker ones are the Lesser Flamingo. Anyway, they are fabulous.
The elevated aviary however is disappointing. The birds are behind black wire cages and netting and are quite distant so they are hard to see. The wonderful Rhinoceros Hornbill does his best to get noticed with his constant barking but unfortunately, you can see very little of him.
Overall, it’s an enormous, well-tended park (13 hectares) and a peaceful sanctuary. For those with time to wander, the paths lead you past ponds, a bird lake, fountains, giant banyan trees, Chinese gardens, a mosque, pagodas, a playground, ice-cream kiosks and a Discovery Centre. Pathways are flat and paved, running throughout the park so it’s easy for those with small children and pushchairs.

Good 13.3 hectare city park in TST
Apr 2020
The Kowloon Park is a 13.3 hectare city park in Tsim Sha Tsui (TST) in the heart of one of the busiest locations in the city. The park makes use of the former site of the Whitfield Barracks, which were repurposed into a public park and opened to the public in 1970, providing much needed green and leisure space for the residents of TST.

There are numerous indoor and outdoor facilities and lots of space to get away from the chaotic streets around Kowloon Park. Visitors can enjoy several small gardens including a traditional Chinese Garden surrounded by a traditional pergola, an interesting maze garden and walking paths through wooded and landscaped grounds. There is a decent aviary, a two-pond bird lake with flamingos, several pools and ponds with fountains, a sculpture garden and walk as well as the Comic Avenue of Stars, where you will find large scale sculptures of Asian comic figures.

Other attractions within Kowloon Park include a historical battery and barrack building repurposed and used as the Hong Kong Discovery Centre. Visitors also have access to a public swimming pool, traditional children's playground, several public toilets, a McDonald's kiosk, a 800 metre walking trail and loads of park bench seating in shaded areas. There is free wifi within the park as well.

In the end, plenty to do/see/enjoy within Kowloon Park for those staying in TST or those planning to spend time in this area of the city during visits to Hong Kong.

Beautiful
Jan 2020 • Couples
Such a beautiful park in the heart of Kowloon. Go to Kung-Fu corner to see the locals practicing Tai-Chi and Kung-Fu. I really loved the avenue of Comic Stars, where there are dozens of comic star statues and where a small craft fair takes place every sunday from 10pm. At the Bird Lake you can see Pink Flamingos and others. A really nice and peaceful place to get away from the busy streets of Kowloon.

Busy City with Greenery!
Jan 2020
Hong Kong is a big bustling city but I was surprised by all the trees and parks throughout the city. My favorite park was Kowloon Park, it was beautiful, massive, and provided a lot of relaxing activities. You could come here to relax, watch wildlife, people watch, etc. I did enjoy the flamingos and turtles. I was also fascinated by the huge trees here and their roots. There are a lot of trails here and places to exercise, so this park can be experienced by both locals and tourists. I would say you need at least an hour here to walk through, but it is such a pleasant escape from the huge city.

Favourite childhood memory
Feb 2020 • Friends
The park is very well equipped and you will find almost everything you need for relaxation and entertainment.

The children's playground, the walking trail, the exercise trail, the gym and the swimming pool is very well equipped.

It's very easily accessible and the swimming pool and the gym are of reasonable pricing.

Through the park, there are many shortcuts that take you to Tsim Sha Tsui, Jordan and West Kowloon. There is also shortcut to the China Hong Kong City shopping mall.

The indoor facilities include a sports centre with an arena, squash courts, dance rooms and a fitness centre. The changing rooms are very clean and well maintained.

The outdoor facilities include a Piazza, a soccer pitch, walking trails, gardens and many more.

There is an aviary and a bird lake as well.

Suits the needs of all ages ranges!

Occasionally there are fun fairs and carnivals held at the Piazza (remember to check out the schedule online if you would like to visit them).

Convenient urban park
May 2022
Kowloon Park was urban park where near TST MTR station. The highlight point was pink flamingos in the bird lake. HK Avenue of Comic Stars and comic wall were also attractive and eye-watching. There were numerous small gardens for the visitors to walk around. There were children’s play area in the park so it was appropriate for the family also. However, only little birds could be seen through cages and nettings in aviary and the view was limited on the viewing cone. The environment was not crowned and comfortable so it was still worth to come if have time.

Fantastic Park
Jul 2019
I make sure to visit Kowloon Park each time I go. Love seeing the flamingos, love watching the Kung Fu displays, love getting an icecream that is always an unusual flavour, and although it never really changes, I like to walk down the Hong Kong Avenue of Comic Stars. Kowloon Park has a variety of animals to see, there is the local swimming pool (check opening times) and once you are in there it doesn't feel like you are in the middle of a bustling town of traffic, people, skyscrapers, noise; they all melt away. Kowloon Park is a favourite place for me to go on Kowloon Island purely to get away from it all. Great place for a picnic. If you love Kowloon Park but then are heading over to Hong Kong Island, check out Hong Kong Park also, it is where their zoo is.

A little green in the busy
Oct 2019
Just can't believe there is such a wonderful park in the busy city. Accessible via public transportation. I was alone there and take about an hour and a half walk throughout the park. The park itself is relatively big. Enjoyed the quiet and cozy environment especially during dawn. If you have a little additional time you should pay a visit. It is worth the time you spent.

Loved it!
Jan 2020
Just round the corner from our hotel we found this place. Lovely to walk around - there was a lake, water features and an aviary. There were busy places, tranquil places. It was a real bit of country right in the heart of a busy metropolis. Easy to pass a couple of hours here.
