I remember coming here as excursion every single year when I was a primary school student. It seems…read morelike either my school really loved this place or they ran out of idea. Anyways, I did not know it was actually located at Sha Tin Racecourse not until a few more years... Now when I think about that... I did not realize when I was play hide-and-seek with my fellow classmates, there could be thousands of people betting and drinking just a few kms away... Penfold Park is a public park in Sha Tin and it is surrounded by the racecourse. It is well-known for being a pet-friend while nicely landscaped place filled with greeneries since it opened in 1979. To get here, take the MTR to Fo Tan station. However, beware that the park is closed on race days. So please check the Jockey Club website before coming here. The park is rather spacious, enabling kids to run around freely and a perfect place for you to walk your dogs. With the lush green areas, people often refer here as "Shatin's green lungs" (not really the best name to be honest). Here you may find tennis court, tables for picnic and barbeque grills. Over the year, it has also hosted quite a few equestrian competitions. At one side of the park, you may also take pictures with painted horse statues and artworks. Personally, I love the arched entrance as it is a rather traditional Chinese arch and you can go to the man-made lake through it. On second thought, I seldom go to this place anymore as I do not own a pet nor do I have children yet. But I do remember when I was a kid, I did love this place a lot chasing after my classmates and it was really fun. I am sure it is more fun than spending your weekends in a learning centre... Probably if I go back there, I might be those who are betting on horses now...

Snoopy's World is conveniently located within a shopping mall. There is a huge bus that kids can…read moreboard, a large playground with slides, and a small boat ride. The boat ride is short and sweet but unique. I think most shopping mall play areas do not have a boat ride. For each child to ride the boat, parent supervision is required. There was a line during our visit and our wait was approximately 20 minutes. The ride itself is probably two minutes long but the kids enjoyed it and saw different characters along the way. The whole play area seems a bit dated and could use a refresh.

Snoopy's world has been around for a long time, if you are nearby it, highly recommend you to check…read moreit out!! It is an outdoor park which located in New Town Plaza, MTR and/or bus will get you there. There are parking in New Town Plaza as well. It is FREE and kids friendly! Remember, it is only open during sunny days!

The first time I visited Hong Kong I had never heard of this place, despite all of the Hong Kong…read morefilms that I had watched. However, after watching an awful lot of youtube I ended up discovering this notorious place. However, it no longer exists, and it has been turned into a park. Despite that, there are a number exhibits, including a model, on the former slum. It is quite a nice a peaceful park though.

The park is really nice to stroll through, but the main attraction is the history of the Kowloon…read moreWalled City. You'll reach a section where it talks about the Kowloon Walled City, interesting facts, and a small statue of how dense the apartments were. As you walk further in, there will be people giving away vouchers (free) to walk inside the Cinematic Journey (movie set). You get free entry and for 15 minutes, you can view the movie set, get a sense of how the apartments used to look, and read more history. It was very interesting and worth checking out if you have the time. Tip(s): - Visit the Cinematic Journey for free (someone will be handing out vouchers)

This park is giant covering 17.65 hectares and housing 6,000 trees My husband remembers the Hong…read moreKong 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.

This is one of the first proper skateparks in Hong Kong. It is easily accessed via MTR or other…read moremeans of transport because it is in the centre of Kowloon. Located inside Lai Chi Kok Park, there are other facilities nearby that would be useful for anyone that visits the park; such as Toilets & changing rooms with showers; they even have lockers in the changing room ( just ask the office situated next to the changing rooms for a locker key) - having a refreshing shower after a session on a summer day is one of the best features of this park. Water fountains near the entrance of the skatepark & also near the changing rooms & vending machines right next to the skatepark keep you hydrated. Many restaurants & convenience stores/supermarkets in near by Mei Foo estate as well. The park has security there for access control, if you need help please don't hesitate to call on them.
