Tin Shui Wai Park

Tin Shui Wai Park may be far, but with close to 15 hectares of green space, it is worth the travel time and effort. Surrounded by residential areas, Tin Shui Wai Park feels very serene. There are a few people, or maybe because I decided to visit on a weekday. Being far from the city center and where the ratio of children to elderly is 1:10, the park is definitely for those who prefer a slower pace of life.
The facilities are also highly maintained, the bathrooms clean unlike the ones in densely-​urban areas such as Mong Kok and Sham Shui Po. Because the park caters highly to the elderly, they have a special area called the «Elderly Fitness Corner» where there are a lot of old people stretching to improve or rather maintain their flexibility.
The fitness stations scattered across the park are a great place to do some yoga or plyometrics. There aren’t a lot of people using it so you can have it all to yourself for as long as you like. Another thing I like about this park are the hard-​surface tennis courts and soccer pitches. Again, since it’s so far from the city, not a lot of people use these facilities except for the nearby residents (which are mostly elderly).
There is also a model boat lake where one can bring their radio-​controlled boats to play along with. For those who have model cars, the park has got you covered as there’s also an area for radio-​controlled cars. Play gateball? There’s an all-​access practice and match court for the taking.
Finally, for skateboarders, there is a simple concrete area with rails and a street plaza, perfect for trying out aerial tricks. If you do get tired of being in the park and prefer the comfort of air-​conditioning, Kingswood Ginza is nearby.
