Central

Chater Garden located in the Central District of Hong Kong, is a public park directly east of the Legislative Council building. The garden was developed in the 1970s, taking up space left by the Hong Kong Cricket Club who moved to Wong Nai Chung Gap. It is named after Sir Paul Chater, and one side of the garden is on Chater Road which is also named after him.
 

  Shatin

Shatin Park has a Main Plaza featuring an Amphitheatre with striking yellow tensioned canopy. In the South Garden, teenagers can spend their leisure time at the multiple children playground that provides challenging recreation games. Park goers can also take a leisurely walk through the Rock Garden, Scented Garden, Aviary Garden and Verandah. The park is situated along the Shing Mun River in the new town of Sha Tin, next to the New Town Plaza and the Sha Tin Town Hall.

  Tsim Sha Tsui

On the other side of harbour, Kowloon Park in Tsim Sha Tsui offers wooded landscapes, a small lake and aviary, a traditionally designed Chinese Garden and a "Sculpture Walk" of modern art. There is also a sports complex boasting the most popular heated indoor swimming pool in Hong Kong.

Hong Kong Park is another oasis in Central. In addition to landscaped ares, children's playground, fountains and a greenhouse, this is where you'll find a spectacular walk-in aviary with over 90 species of birds and the largest squash centre in Hong Kong.

This Park, being built at a cost of $398 million and opened in May 1991, covers 8 hectares in Central and is an outstanding example of modern design and facilities blending with the natural landscape.

  Big Wave Bay

Big Wave Bay is Hong Kong's most accessible surfing beach, lives up to its name and is frequently closed for swimming as a result. The beach has kiosks, barbecue pits, a playground, changing rooms, showers, and toilets.
