Lai Chi Kok Park

This park is giant covering 17.65 hectares and housing 6,000 trees My husband remembers the Hong Kong Zoo being in this area when he was a kid. The government closed the zoo to make room for residential growth and to build high rises. Now the highrises that butt up to this park look relatively new, so this would most likely explain how there was land for such a giant public park. He thinks this space was where the zoo once was.
Regardles, the park is a great outdoor space for the residents and visitors to this area. It has everything… skatepark, roller skating rink, gateball courts, jogging tracks, soccer pitchs, elderly fitness center, play equipment, fitness stations, tennis courts and an amphitheatre. It also houses the Lingnan Garden, featuring courtyards, winding corridors, structures with traditional Lingnan designs, sculptures and bonsai trees. I read that 20% of the total area of the Lingnan Garden is dedicated to ponds and water features.
A great outdoor space and understandably one of the most popular public parks in Hong Kong.
