About this place

Ivy Street Rest Garden is a compact, neighborhood-oriented public park and outdoor play space in Tai Kok Tsui. Managed by Hong Kong's Leisure and Cultural Services Department (LCSD), it serves as a community hub where children can enjoy dedicated play structures while parents and local seniors relax. Families visit the garden specifically for its peaceful outdoor environment, its weather-themed interactive play equipment, and its proximity to the adjacent Tai Kok Tsui Market and surrounding local eateries.

Things to know

No Restrooms Onsite

The park does not contain a public restroom. However, public toilets and baby care facilities are easily accessible next door at the Tai Kok Tsui Market or Tai Kok Tsui Municipal Services Building.

Beat the Heat

Because the park is fully outdoors and has limited canopy shade over the play structures, it can get very hot during summer middays. Visiting during early mornings (before 10:00 AM) or late afternoons (after 4:00 PM) is recommended.

Weather-Themed Active Learning

The playground features unique interactive play panels decorated with weather motifs (Sunny, Windy, Cloudy, Rainy). Parents can use these panels to teach children English vocabulary while they play.

Pebble Reflexology Path

There is a barefoot walking pebble path at one end of the garden. Parents should monitor younger children around this area to prevent them from slipping or throwing loose stones.
