Hoi Bun Road Park (Chinese: 海濱道公園) is a public park in Kwun Tong, Kowloon, Hong Kong.
History
The 9,300-square-metre park was built at a cost of $18.8 million for the enjoyment of the working population in the Kwun Tong industrial estate.[1][2] It was designed by the local architecture firm Spence Robinson and was opened in 1990 by the Urban Council.[3]
Prior to redevelopment (see below), the park featured a five-a-side football pitch, a pavilion with table tennis tables, a stepped planter with a look-off point, Chinese chess tables, and a public toilet block.
From 2019 to 2021, the park was closed for demolition and complete reconstruction. It reopened in August 2021.[4]
