Kowloon Park
九龙公园
A large green oasis beside Nathan Road, converted from an old military barracks, with a century-old fort, a flamingo lake, a sculpture garden, and swimming pools.
Located in the heart of Tsim Sha Tsui, the park was converted from the Whitfield Barracks. It preserves late 19th-century fort remains and barrack buildings, some of which now house the Hong Kong Heritage Discovery Centre. Within the park are the Flamingo Lake, a Chinese-style garden, a maze, and a sculpture walk. The indoor and outdoor swimming pools are popular in summer. Free kung fu performances are often held at Kung Fu Corner on Sunday afternoons. Located next to the Kowloon Mosque, it is a few minutes' walk from Tsim Sha Tsui MTR station and makes a good rest stop between shopping sessions.
