Lam Tin Park, Urban park in Kwun Tong District, Hong Kong.
Lam Tin Park is a park on the slope of Black Hill in Lam Tin, Kwun Tong District, Hong Kong. It has an outdoor arena, a children's playground, a football pitch, picnic zones, fitness trails and a hilltop lookout point over eastern Victoria Harbour and Kowloon East.
Lam Tin Park opened on 23 November 1991, built by Gammon Construction as part of phase 3 of the Lam Tin extension of Tak Tin Estate. Its site on the Black Hill slopes had previously held squatter huts, which were hit by a five-alarm fire on 21 November 1981 and, half a year later, by a severe landslide caused by the 29 May rainstorm, killing and injuring many people.
The name Lam Tin is written 藍田, literally "blue field", a name shared with a town in Shaanxi; it does not refer to salt production. The park was built as part of the Tin Tin Estate extension project, and residents from Tin Tin Estate and Hing Tin Estate nearby use its outdoor arena and football pitch for gatherings and matches.
Lam Tin Park lies on the hillside off Pik Wan Road, beside Tak Tin Estate and Hing Tin Estate in Lam Tin. The grounds rise along Black Hill, so expect uphill walking between the outdoor arena and the hilltop lookout. Facilities include a football pitch, children's playground, picnic zones and fitness trails.
The hilltop lookout opens onto the east of Victoria Harbour and Kowloon East. The park occupies the slope of Black Hill where a rainstorm triggered a landslide in 1982, and it was built on that site in 1991. The slope itself is the reason the lookout exists.
