Aldrich Bay Park, Urban park in Sai Wan Ho, Hong Kong.
Aldrich Bay Park is an urban park in Sai Wan Ho featuring multiple play areas, replica fishing vessels, and sampans positioned in a central water feature. The space includes a Tai Chi practice area, a Scent Garden, and open lawns for walking and sitting.
The site held the Aldrich Bay Bus Terminus until June 2006, when routes moved to the Sai Wan Ho (Grand Promenade) transport interchange. The vacant land then became a Hong Kong Island Golf Club practice ground used by 10,000 people a month, whose netting and night lighting drew complaints from residents of Les Saisons. The park, planned over more than a decade at a cost of over HK$130 million, opened on 11 April 2011.
The park's design borrows from the old fishing harbour: a full-size fishing boat and two sampans float in the water feature, reached by two timber boardwalk piers, with a replica fishing shed beside them. The boat was reportedly moved here from a Tuen Mun park after being damaged by vandals.
The park is open daily from 6:00 to 23:00, offering plenty of space to walk through in any season. The flat terrain and variety of areas make it easy to explore for visitors of different ages.
The full-scale fishing boat in the pool was first placed in a park in Tuen Mun and moved here after being damaged by vandals. Two wooden boardwalks built as a pier let visitors step aboard, and a replica fishing shed stands beside them.
