2 reviews

With a sports complex, the park occupies 14 ha in the heart of Tsim Sha Tsui. In the past, it was the seat of the Whitfields Barracks, the residences of the English and Indian soldiers of the Raj army. A mosque opens the entrance to the park on Nathan Road. This large white marble building for green domes houses the Islamic Centre in Kowloon. The mosque is open to individual visitors only on special leave. It was rebuilt in 1984 and was rebuilt in 1896 by the Muslim troops of the British Army of India. The Hongkong Muslim community is 50 000 persons, about half of whom are made up of Chinese Muslims. Inside the park, the Sculpture Walk, an outdoor route, is littered with sculptures from local artists. There is also a aviary, a water plan, a labyrinth, a planté paddock and Chinese gardens. In winter, as part of "Sound in the Park", amateur musicians play for free.
