Lonely Planet review

Built on the site of a barracks for Indian soldiers in the colonial army, Kowloon Park is an oasis of greenery and a refreshing escape from the hustle and bustle of Tsim Sha Tsui. Pathways and walls crisscross the grass, birds hop around in cages, and towers and ancient banyan trees dot the landscape.

There's an aviary (; 06:30 - 18:45 Mar-Oct, 06:30 - 17:45 Nov-Feb) and a Chinese Garden and Sculpture Walk, featuring works by local artists. Kung Fu Corner, a display of traditional Chinese martial arts, takes place here from 14:30 to 16:30 on Sunday. The renovated Kowloon Park Swimming Complex (2724 3577; adult/concession around HK$19 /around HK$9 ; ;outdoor 06:30 - 22:00 with 1hr close at noon & 17:00 Apr-Oct, indoor 06:30 - 21:30 with 1hr close at noon & 17:00 Nov-Mar) is complete with four pools and waterfalls. Visit on a weekday; on weekends there are so many bathers it's difficult to find the water.
