About this place

Managed by the Leisure and Cultural Services Department (LCSD) of Hong Kong, this outdoor sitting-out area and playground is situated in the historic 400 year old Shui Hau Village. It serves as a quiet, crowd-free alternative for families seeking a peaceful spot where children can play and adults can relax while exploring Lantau Island.

Things to know

Pack the Essentials

Bring your own water bottles, sun hats, a small first-aid pack, and mosquito repellent (highly recommended, especially between April and October).

Respect the Community

The playground is located close to a quiet, historic residential village. Visitors should keep noise levels down and must not litter.

Food and Drink Availability

There are no food or drink shops directly inside the playground. However, families can purchase refreshments at small stores located within the nearby village.

Beat the Humidity

The best windows to visit are between 8:00 AM and 10:00 AM, or after 4:00 PM to avoid the intense midday heat and humidity.
