Sham Shui Po Park

Sham Shui Po Park, Public park in Sham Shui Po District, Hong Kong.

Sham Shui Po Park occupies two separate sites on either side of Lai Chi Kok Road. The main site, completed in 1983, holds a swimming pool opened in 1985, basketball and gateball courts, a jogging track and tai chi courts. The smaller site inside Lai Kok Estate opened as a park in 1984 and was redeveloped in the 2000s with a landscaped garden.

The site was part of the Sham Shui Po Barracks, built in 1927 on reclaimed land. During the Japanese occupation from 1941 to 1945 it served as a prisoner-of-war camp, and the Jubilee Buildings, flats for British Army families completed in 1935, stood on the Stage II site. After the Vietnam War the camp became the Jubilee Transit Centre, housing over 3,000 Vietnamese refugees by 1983. The first phase opened as a park on 9 March 1984, and Stage II was completed in 2008.

The park's memorial trees were planted on 26 August 1989 by the Hong Kong Prisoners of War Association, and two maple trees were added on 5 December 1991 by the Hong Kong Veterans Association of Canada. Plaques in the park mark these tributes to soldiers who died in the Battle of Hong Kong and in the camp.

The park is accessible through several MTR stations including Cheung Sha Wan, Sham Shui Po, and Nam Cheong, all within walking distance. Visitors can move easily between the sections since public transport stops are positioned conveniently nearby.

The park's boundary stones from the former Sham Shui Po Barracks remain in place, and the LCSD said during the playground rebuild that they would be kept on site. The inclusive playground, completed on 26 November 2023, has a 13-metre spiral slide, the tallest and longest slide in an LCSD playground.
