However, it also contains a diverse range of attractions for the entire family.

- Edward ChoiHong Kong, China1,258 contributionsI have been to Kowloon Park several times recently, including to see some themed exhibitions, so that I can get a deeper understanding of Kowloon Park and learn about the various features. Arranged, through photos to review the sights explored. The park is located in the city of Chiang Mai, the crowd is still running, but many people are on a lumpy walk, not being able to carefully appreciate the contents shown in the various attractions. The park offers a variety of facilities, both outdoor and indoor, visitors or the public to participate in different activities, each suitable. (1) Fitness facilities: swimming pool, stadium, gymnasium, gymnasium, playground for children, recreational park, etc. (2) Place of rest: Chinese gardens, labyrinth gardens, tanning columns, ceiling gardens, sprinkler pools, etc. (3) Animal and plant observation: Birdhouse, Bird Lake, tree study path, beautiful garden, etc. (4) Historical Traditional Culture: Heritage Museum, Dinosaur Meeting Room. (5) Places of recreational activities: Comic Starlight Avenue (Lung Hall), Kung Fu Hall, Sculpture Hall and Sculpture Garden, etc. As an oasis in the park, the old trees in the park are in the sky, all over evergreen trees, but the lack of some leaves that will turn red or orange in autumn winter, such as mole trees, mole trees, etc., form the park only green environment, color monotony. In order to add color, the park established a tree study path and beautiful garden, planted oatmeal, cotton, yellow cotton, dragon boat flowers, chrysanthemum, big flower purple rose, red flower silver cotton, etc., the exhibition of flowers in one corner, convenient for visitors to observe, but the overall variety and quantity is not much, compared to other parks. There are no artificial waterfalls in the park, instead of building two fountains, water columns give a cool feeling, and also show a special landscape, after Wednesday and Thursday afternoon, sunlight from the gap of trees irradiates water columns, forming a silver white or golden yellow light show, fascinating. Chinese gardens resonate with flowers, birds, trees, like an overall layout. And Chinese gardens are also thoughtful designs, such as the walls of the hallway and the brick to add the strip pattern, while the walls have four shaped windows, additionally connecting the walkway of the heart of the lake, etc., to create an elegant atmosphere. In summary, Kowloon Park is a complex of entertainment and leisure, many attractions, each tour can choose one or two themes to explore the experience, you will be happy to return.Visited December 2024Traveled as a coupleWritten February 20, 2025
- Christian MCopenhagen, Denmark6,223 contributionsWandering around a skyscraper city like Hong Kong is exciting and wonderful - but sometimes you just need to sit on a bench in green surroundings and relax to the sound of birds chirping instead of frantic traffic noise. You might also need a clean toilet unexpectedly. Kowloon Park provides both. There are very nice toilets at the entrance where the swimming pool is located.Visited June 2024Traveled as a coupleWritten June 29, 2024
- Abovetheclouds2,534 contributionsI am not normally a park person but I enjoyed this more than I thought. A quiet oasis away from the busy area outside! Free to enter. Easy to navigate. I spent an hour in there, taking a leisurely walk. There was a Chinese Garden, Bird Lake, Maze Garden, Sculpture Walk and loads more. It was nice. I have been to Hong Kong a few times. Whilst I wouldn't put this high on your list if this is your first trip, I would recommend if you have spare time or enjoy parks and nature.Visited December 2024Traveled soloWritten December 21, 2024
- Kay LamSingapore, Singapore116 contributionsWent to walk around since it's near our hotel. Free bird aviary and flamingos, so many flamingos. Also has a swimming pool and quite a lot of benches to sit down. Many maps around to help navigate since there are many different points of entry Saw 2 stray cats so that is a bonusVisited May 2024Traveled as a coupleWritten May 29, 2024
- Grace Annette C YNew York City, New York1,055 contributionsI was feeling jet lag after a flight from New York to visit Hong Kong and found the walk inside that park very refreshing. The approximately 33 acres of land was easy navigate. Part No of the parks (the pond) was under service/renovation. I walked only 1/3 of park, enjoyed watching the elderly practice TaiChi, loved some the very old trees and windy paths and easy steps. I may revisit the park again before flying out in a few days.Visited January 2025Traveled as a coupleWritten January 4, 2025
- Pioneer117501673971 contributionAlways good as usual , to wear flipflop is a good idea in general . When people writing about their s infection they got , they should keep in mind that chloride kills bacteria and ground cleaning on one day in a week is totally standard for other Seaparks pools ectr. If you get skin irritation or you had a bad day in general don't blame it to the pool. Better stay home. Kowloon park is great!! 😃Visited May 2024Traveled soloWritten July 18, 2024

Our family of two adults, a 9 year old and a 6 year old visited here during the busy Chinese New Year holidays.
It's a fun park in the heart of Kowloon accessible along Nathan Road. We entered at Park Lane and exited by the mosque en route to the Star Ferry terminal.
We enjoyed the exhibits along the way and it's great to let young children run around (inside the park) in such a busy city. Enjoy!

I was there on the 2nd, 4th and 6th of October 2023, and to be very honest it is the most incredible place, do you know why? There's a flamingo nursery, a Mc Donalds, and a swimming pool where you pay 17 Hong Kong dollars and you can swim from 1pm to 5pm with drinking water, a hot shower after swimming, and for 5 local dollars you can use the lockers to store your things that, after you finish using them, they return to you. Just be careful because they only accept coins, and in the case of the locker only 5 dollar coins. But if you don't have one, there is a machine right at the entrance that does the exchange for you.

In addition to flower beds and lawn plazas, there are many plants and other lush greenery, as well as ponds and fountains, making it an oasis in the big city where skyscrapers stand side by side. I took out some Michelin Bib Gourmand Shengjianbao (baked xiaolongbao) and ate it on a bench in the park. It's nice to be able to relax there.

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.

If you’re a tourist in Hong Kong, I suggest that you spend just about a whole day here in Kowloon Park.
There’s a lot to do in one area. They have a museum (which was closed when I got there due to renovation), an aviary section, comic book statues (I really like), and much more.
The place is well-maintained all throughout. It was a fantastic way to see Hong Kong in this kind of area.

This is a relatively huge park considerig the fact that it is located in the bustling Tsim Sha Tsui area. The southeast entrance is conveniently located next to the A1 exit of the Tsim Sha Tsui MTR station. In comparison, the entrance from Canton Road on the west side of the park requires climbing a long stretch of zigzagly paths to reach the inside of the park. Not to be missed is the Bird Lake located in the central part of the park. Lots of flamingos can be found here. Note that because of its size, there are many walking paths winding through the park and it is easy to get lost for visitors that are not familiar with the layout. Coupled with the fact that the park is located on a hilly terrain, it makes for a frustrating experience if you want to get around without getting lost.

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.

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.

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.

We head to this park on each visit to Hong Kong in the hope that we can see the elderly Chinese singing traditional songs and playing traditional instruments. Alas, it was not to be this time and we spent some time meandering through the area until the heat and humidity became overwhelming. Beautiful Park area with much flora, gardens, aviaries, walking tracks, sculptures and fountain. Great sporting facilities for a range of activities, a large aquatic centre, waterpark and so on. The ice-cream kiosk provided a pleasant interlude for a short time. Definitely a must do when visiting but can be very uncomfortable if temperatures and humidity is high.

From which nearest entrance to the park i will go if i just want to visit the avenue of comic stars and that stairs with diffrnt characters?
Written November 20, 2018
Nathan Road is the entrance to the stairs where the characters are. Which is next to the shop on Nathan road, the nearest MTR are Jordan and Tsim sha Tsui station, the stairs I would say are directly in the middle of both stations so nil are closer and both stations are on Nathan Road, depending on which exit from the station you take. Have a great time like I did. Andrew from Scotland

What is the best park Kowloon Park or Hong Kong Park ?
How much time do I need to visit?
Written September 13, 2017
I like both in different ways. I would decide purely based on which one is closer to you.
I'd allow 1 hour for Hong Kong Park and 2 hours for Kowloon Park.
Main difference is Kowloon Park is flat with multiple sections you can't see each other from.
Whereas Hong Kong Park is built on a mountain and also has multiple sections, but the selling point is you can see down the hill and into the central skyline buildings.

When is the swimming pool in kowloon park open please?
Written February 6, 2017
Go google using "kowloon park hong kong swimming pool" and you will see their hours posted. Entry fee is less than US$2.00 and usage of locker is US$1.00.
Not sure I would go there now, it is kind of chill there this time of the year.

I am having a very quick stop over in Hong Kong. As it is my first time to this amazing city I am hoping to get a chance to look around. I first though I would take up the Hotel offer of a tour of the Jade Market, but on reviews I have reconsidered (I do not want to shop). I am now considering Kowloon Park and on our return stop over a harbour cruise on the Star Ferry to see the Symphony of Lights.
Any quick stop over "Must Do" thoughts from Hong Kong experts?
Written April 1, 2016
Hi,
Both are great places to visit. The Kowloon Park is centrally located,next to some great street food,and with lot of lush green inside. Well organised park and u can relax for a bit there. Don't forget to visit the Avenue Of Comic Stars within the premises.
The Harbour Cruise for Symphony of Lights is a bit pricey but the cruise is air conditioned and includes a cold drink with snack. Enjoyable if u stand at the deck,they take you around and show the lighting on the skyscrapers. Though this is enjoyable, but the best views of the harbour and light show are from Avenue of stars or from the entrance of the Ritz Carlton Hotel(below Sky 100 observation deck)!(for free)
Great places to visit. Both of these shouldn't take too long. Have a wonderful time in Hong Kong. Cheers!
