Ma Yau Tong Rest Garden Playground is a public outdoor neighborhood space nestled in a mountain pass in Tseung Kwan O. Operated by the Leisure and Cultural Services Department (LCSD) of Hong Kong, it offers a quiet, uncrowded garden environment where local families can bring children to enjoy standard play facilities (like climbing frames and slides) and let them run around to burn off energy in a breath of fresh air.

Things to know

Strict Non-Smoking Zone

Smoking is entirely prohibited throughout the rest garden and playground area.

Bring the Essentials

There are no food kiosks or shops on-site. Parents should pack water bottles, snacks, sun hats, and mosquito repellent (highly recommended between April and October).

Time the Visit

To avoid peak Hong Kong humidity and heat, the best times to visit are early mornings (8:00 AM to 10:00 AM) or late afternoons (after 4:00 PM).

Check the Weather

Since the facility is outdoors and fully exposed, keep an eye on the Hong Kong Observatory (HKO) app. If an Amber rainstorm warning or higher is active, the area will clear out quickly and offers limited shelter.

Guide

Getting here

By MTR

Take the Tseung Kwan O Line to Po Lam Station. From there, it is about a 17-minute uphill walk (approx. 1.1 km). Due to the steep terrain, taking a bus or taxi from the station is recommended.

By Bus

Take any bus via Po Lam Road (such as 98A, 98C, 95, 290, or 290X) and get off at Ma Yau Tong Village stop. The park entrance is a brief 3 to 4-minute walk (approx. 130 meters southeast) away.

By car

Driving is not recommended as there is no on-site public parking. Drop-offs can be made along Po Lam Road near the entrance track of Ma Yau Tong Village.

By Taxi

Taxis can drop you off along Po Lam Road near Ma Yau Tong Village. From there, follow the village path on foot for a few minutes to reach the garden.
