After the chaotic surrounds of Tsim Sha Tsui, the tranquility of Kowloon Park washes over you like a mountain spring. But this peaceful place was actually once an army fortress that was handed over by the military for public use in 1970. The park has a total area of 13.3 hectares, offering gardens, bird’s lake and featuring an indoor swimming pool, the full range of active and passive recreational facilities to the public.
