Olympic Garden

Olympic Garden, Urban park in Kowloon City District, Hong Kong.

Olympic Garden is an urban park in Kowloon City District that features a central plaza surrounded by walking paths and green areas. The layout includes seating zones and landscaped sections where visitors can sit and rest.

Olympic Garden opened on 13 March 1965, named to mark the first Olympic torch relay through Hong Kong in August 1964, when the flame passed en route from Greece to Tokyo. The nearby street was named Olympic Road for the same event. On 4 December 1970, crowds gathered here to welcome Pope Paul VI as he left Kai Tak Airport. The park closed on 26 November 2012 for the Sha Tin to Central Link works and reopened in September 2019.

The garden's name comes from the 1964 Olympic torch relay, which passed through Hong Kong in August on its way to Tokyo; locals then called the Games "World Games", hence 世運. On Sundays many Thai domestic workers gather here, as Kowloon City has many Thai shops and restaurants, and the signs are in Chinese, English and Thai.

The park is easily accessible by public transportation, with bus stops and metro stations nearby for quick arrivals. You can walk through the entire space and find entry points throughout the grounds.

On 4 December 1970, Pope Paul VI passed through the garden in an open-top car after leaving Kai Tak Airport, and crowds gathered here to greet him. The garden's name is the first place name in Hong Kong derived from the Olympic Games.
