Hutchison Park, Public urban park in Kowloon City District, Hong Kong.
Hutchison Park is a public green space in Kowloon City District, Hong Kong. It has walking paths, outdoor fitness equipment, and open areas used by people of all ages throughout the day.
The park was created through a donation by Hutchison Whampoa, one of Hong Kong's largest business groups. Since then, it has served the surrounding residential neighborhoods as a public gathering spot.
The park's name comes from Hutchison Whampoa, the developer that paid HK$24 million to build it on the former Tai Wan hill site and handed it to the Urban Council on 26 October 1991. Its ponds and walking paths are laid out around the hill's highest point, 15 metres above sea level near the turtle pond.
The park covers 2.5 hectares on Dai Ya Street in Tai Wai, beside Laguna Verde and Whampoa Garden. Its highest point is Tai Wan Hill, about 15 metres above sea level, near the turtle pond. Paths and ponds make up most of the grounds, so allow time to walk between the two entrances.
The park's highest point is Tai Wan Shan, a 15-metre hillock beside the turtle pond, the remnant of the hill flattened in the mid-1980s to open Hung Hom Road. Hutchison Whampoa put up HK$24 million for the park, which opened on 26 October 1991.
