About this place

King George V Memorial Park, Kowloon, is a historic public park situated in Jordan. Originally built in 1941, the park is known for its unique blend of Western colonial history and traditional Chinese garden architecture, complete with red-tiled pavilions and historic stone walls. Families visit to take advantage of its spacious, well-equipped children's playground and sports facilities. It provides a much-needed, mature-tree-shaded green space where kids can play freely in a safe, rubber-matted environment right in the bustling heart of West Kowloon.

Good to know

Does the playground have swings?

Yes, the playground features standard and toddler-safe swings, alongside slides and climbing structures.

Is the playground area fenced?

Yes, the children's play area is fenced off from the main pathways and sports courts, preventing young children from accidentally wandering into active games.

Are there public toilets and baby-changing rooms in the park?

There are public restrooms directly within the park, but they do not feature dedicated baby care or nursing rooms. For well-equipped baby care rooms, parents should use the nearby Kwun Chung Municipal Services Building or nearby commercial shopping malls.

Is the park crowded?

On weekends and public holidays, the soccer pitch and basketball court are heavily occupied, and the playground sees high local traffic. Weekday mornings and early afternoons are much quieter and perfect for toddlers.

Is there shade at the playground to escape the heat?

While the play structures themselves are outdoors and get direct sunlight, the park features massive, mature banyan trees and traditional Chinese pavilions that provide ample shade and resting spaces for parents.
