King George V Memorial Park, Kowloon

King George V Memorial Park is an urban green space in Kowloon with football fields, basketball courts, and a playground for children. The grounds include sheltered areas and traditional pavilions spread across the property.

The park was established in 1941 as a memorial space during a significant period in Hong Kong's past. A bronze gate at the entrance was created by a notable designer of that era.

The park is named after a British king, yet its gates and pavilions follow Chinese architectural traditions with red tiles and curved roofs. This blend of Western naming and Eastern design reflects the place's colonial past.

The park sits between two MTR stations and is easy to reach with several entry points available. Wide-open layouts make it simple to navigate, and the grounds are well-maintained throughout.

The park expanded in the 1970s when a nearby road was moved to make room for additional land. This shift reshaped the grounds into their current configuration.
