King George V Memorial Park, Hong Kong

King George V Memorial Park is an urban green space in Western District with playgrounds, sports fields, and walking paths. The park features solid stone walls and offers different areas designed for various activities.

The site served as an informal burial ground during Japanese occupation and reopened in 1954 after reconstruction. The rebuild marked a fresh start for this location in the center of the city.

The park takes its name from King George V and displays colonial touches like Victorian lamp posts alongside local banyan trees and stone walls. This blend shapes the feel of the space and becomes apparent as you walk through it.

The park has an official soccer field, play areas for children, and space for activities like tai chi. It is best visited in early morning or late afternoon when activity is most visible.

The park houses the only kindergarten within a government park in Hong Kong, operated by the Hong Kong Society for the Protection of Children. This unusual combination makes it a special place for families and visitors.
