Jockey Club Tak Wah Park

Jockey Club Tak Wah Park, Urban park and declared monument in Tsuen Wan District, Hong Kong.

Jockey Club Tak Wah Park is a 1.63-hectare Chinese-style garden built on the former Ho Paai Village site. A pavilion with a dark stone base rising from the water has an open timber upper storey and a tiered roof with upturned eaves; a covered walkway on stone supports leads to a low arched stone bridge. The grounds also hold a 1904 village house, a carp pond, a nine-turn bridge and a lotus pond.

The park occupies the site of Hoi Pa Village, whose residents were of the Chen clan from Shajing Houting Village in Bao'an County, Guangdong; they moved to Tsuen Wan during the Qianlong reign. The two-storey village house built in 1904 from rammed earth, blue bricks, blue tiles and fir was declared a Hong Kong monument in 1986. The Hong Kong Jockey Club funded the park, completed in two phases in 1989 and 1995.

The Yizhang Chen Ancestral Hall, built in 1876, honours Chen Yizhang, the 27th-generation ancestor of a family that moved from Bao'an (now Shenzhen) to Tsuen Wan during the Qianlong reign. It was restored in 1909 and again in 2005. Nearby, the 1904 Ho Paai village house now holds the Tak Wah Exhibition Hall and Environmental Resources Centre.

The park covers about 1.63 hectares on the former Ho Paai Village site, with entrances from Tak Wah Street and nearby Market Street. The declared monument house and the ancestral hall stand inside the grounds, so allow time to walk between the ponds, bridges and pavilions. The exhibition hall and environmental resource centre in the old village house have been closed since February 2016.

The 1904 Ho Paai village house inside the park was declared a monument in 1986; it is built of rammed earth, blue bricks, blue tiles and fir wood, and covers about 400 square metres. Its ground floor once held an exhibition on New Territories private schools turning into village schools.
