About the Park

Vision and Objectives

Shing Fung Road Park is officially open to the public on 28 February 2025, covering an area of approximately 3.9 hectares and is the second large recreational project developed on the former site of the Kai Tak Airport runway, following the Kai Tak Sky Garden. To facilitate citizens’ enjoyment of the harbour views and surrounding scenery, the park features multiple public recreational spaces to meet diverse community needs. These facilities include a circular Observation Deck, Light Refreshment Kiosk, Amphitheatre, Fountain Plaza, Lawn Area, Rain Garden, GreenWay and Harbour Steps.

Shing Fung Road Park is designed by Professor Bernard LIM Wan-fung and has been awarded Special Citation in Hong Kong Institute of Urban Design - Urban Design Awards in 2021. This project embodies the planning vision of the Kai Tak Development vision "Enhancing Connectivity, Promoting Vibrancy.” The adjacent Shing Fung Road serves as a vital corridor, not only effectively linking Kai Tak's neighboring districts—including To Kwa Wan, Kowloon City, Wong Tai Sin, and the MTR Kai Tak Station—but also establishing strong synergies with the former runway area and former southern apron zone (encompassing Kai Tak Cruise Terminal, Hong Kong Children's Hospital, and the planned new acute hospital), fostering collaborative community development.

The design elements of the project of Shing Fung Road Park aim at promoting energy efficiency, enhancing continuity, creativity, and diversity, with an overall design concept presented as "Soaring over the glade, immersing in the flow of Kai Tak".

Design and Features

Shing Fung Road Park features various recreational public open spaces and facilities, such as Observation Decks, Light Refreshment Kiosk, Rain Gardens, Fountain Plaza, GreenWay and Harbour Steps. These amenities cater for diverse leisure needs and provide ample space for various recreational activities.

The lawn area and the "fenceless" coastal steps create an ideal space for citizens to enjoy picnics. Additionally, the spacious GreenWay, along with a 2-meter-wide barrier-free walkway for pedestrians, benefiting walkers, runners, and cyclists (on the GreenWay).

Shing Fung Road Park also boasts an approximately 800-meter-long seaside promenade that connects the Kai Tak River (at the northern end) to the Kai Tak Promenade, as well as the Kai Tak Sky Garden at the southern end. The park runs parallel with Shing Fung Road and includes multiple access points to facilitate connections to future Metro Park.

The Observation Deck features an 8-meter-wide elevated walkway linking the Shing Fung Road vehicular bridge, as well as a circular ramp to provide barrier free access.

Harbour Steps
Designed with a "fenceless" concept, allowing citizens to sit freely by the sea, enjoy the sea breeze, and appreciate the harbour view.

Amphitheatre
The Amphitheatre provides a spacious outdoor area for public activities within the park. The arrangement and orientation of the tiered seating ensure that visitors can enjoy performances or the harbour view in an obstructed and relaxed environment.

Lawn Area
A spacious and tranquil green space offering a comfortable outdoor leisure environment.

Fountain Plaza
Covering an area of approximately 100 square meters, it is equipped with a filtration and disinfection system. Through predefined operating modes and dynamic lighting effects, visitors can engage in playful interactions with the various water features.

GreenWay
Unlike traditional cycle tracks separated from pedestrian walkways, GreenWay adopts a shared-space concept for both pedestrians and cyclists. Clearly marked dismounting zones (see Figure 4) are installed along the route, reminding cyclists to dismount and push their bicycles at designated areas to ensure pedestrian safety. This design enhances connectivity between recreational spaces in the district while providing safe leisure and entertainment facilities for public use.

Rain Garden
Covering an area of approximately 130 square meters, this garden primarily features drought-resistant plants. It is designed to treat and collect rainwater for irrigation purposes.
