Sun Yat Sen Memorial Park, Public park in Central and Western District, Hong Kong.
Sun Yat Sen Memorial Park is a waterfront public park in the Central and Western District of Hong Kong, featuring a memorial lawn, reflecting pool, and sports facilities including soccer fields, basketball courts, and a swimming complex. The park covers 4.1 hectares and faces Victoria Harbour, with sections divided into zones for sport, leisure, and quiet remembrance.
The site served as a meeting place where Dr. Sun Yat-sen gathered with supporters on boats offshore during his exile from Hong Kong. The park was later developed as a public space and now carries his name in remembrance.
The park honors Dr. Sun Yat-sen, a figure central to Chinese history, through a memorial lawn and a reflecting pool that invite quiet contemplation. Visitors often see locals exercising in the morning or families spending time near the water, using the space both for remembrance and daily recreation.
Sai Ying Pun MTR station lies about 300 meters away, and several tram stops sit within 160 meters, making public transport access straightforward. Sports facilities and swimming pools can be busy, so visiting early in the morning or late afternoon often feels more comfortable.
