Woodside, Grade II historic building in Eastern District, Hong Kong.

Woodside is a two-storey red-brick building at 50 Mount Parker Road, Quarry Bay, with a granite base and Chinese glazed-tile roofs. Its two original blocks were rebuilt by Taikoo between 1947 and 1951 with a flat roof and joined into one. Inside are wooden staircases, teak floors and a large fireplace in the living room.

The building was constructed in the 1920s as residential quarters for senior staff of the Taikoo Sugar Refinery. It passed into government ownership in 1976 and was later repurposed as an educational facility.

The building now serves as an educational hub where people come to learn about local wildlife and natural systems through displays and hands-on programs. These activities help visitors understand how nature fits into Hong Kong's urban landscape.

Woodside stands at 50 Mount Parker Road, beside the northern edge of Tai Tam Country Park; the site is reached on foot along the road, and the historic red-brick block has no barrier-free access, so stairs and uneven floors must be expected. Three galleries, guided tours, film screenings and workshops run inside; allow time for both the displays and the surrounding country-park paths.

The two original blocks were merged into one and given a flat roof when Taikoo rebuilt the house between 1947 and 1951, after the first generation was damaged and looted during the Japanese occupation. The 2012 conversion into the biodiversity education centre cost about HK$17 million.
