Fa Hui Park, Urban park in Sham Shui Po District, Hong Kong.
Fa Hui Park is a public green space north of Boundary Street with basketball courts, walking paths, and recreational facilities for the community. The park provides open areas for walking and sports, with a shared garden area in the middle.
Following devastating fires in the 1950s that left many people homeless, the Hong Kong Government transformed the site into this public park. The land was converted from an informal settlement into an organized recreational space for the neighborhood.
The community garden here brings neighbors together to grow vegetables and flowers as part of organized planting programs. People use this shared space to connect with each other while tending their plants throughout the year.
The main entrance faces Boundary Street, opposite Mong Kok Stadium, and Mong Kok East station on the East Rail line is a short walk away. The park is fully smoke-free. Sports courts and the model boat pool occupy the low-lying ground, while the wooded hill above holds the old cannon.
When the park was built, an old cannon was unearthed and put on display among the tall trees on the higher ground. The park also has a model boat pool added in March 1963.
