The upper part of the former Victoria Barracks, built between 1867 and 1910, became Hong Kong Park. The barracks were handed to the government in 1979, and after Glenealy Junior School vacated the site in 1988, the area was turned into a park. It was funded by the Royal Hong Kong Jockey Club and opened on 23 May 1991 by Governor Sir David Wilson.
