About this place

Operated by the Leisure and Cultural Services Department (LCSD), Signal Hill Garden is a historic public park situated atop Blackhead Point, a small hill about 40 meters high. It is centered around the iconic 3 to 4 story red brick Signal Tower, an Edwardian or Classical Baroque declared monument built in 1907. Families visit to explore the historic spiral staircase inside the tower, enjoy a peaceful escape from the bustling urban landscape of Tsim Sha Tsui, and take in panoramic views of Victoria Harbour from the garden's Chinese style pavilion.

Things to know

Stroller Accessibility

The garden is situated on a steep hill (about 40m high) and requires walking up slopes and staircases. It is highly stroller unfriendly; parents with infants should opt for a baby carrier instead.

Tower Staircase Safety

The internal spiral staircase in the Signal Tower is made of narrow iron steps with open railings. Parents must supervise young children closely, as toddlers could slip or fall.

Mosquito Protection

Given the dense trees and garden foliage, bringing mosquito repellent for the family is highly recommended.

Restrooms

Public toilets are available onsite (converted from a historic bungalow building), but they lack dedicated baby changing facilities.

Good to know

Can I bring a baby stroller to Signal Hill Garden?

It is highly discouraged. The park is built on a steep hill and requires navigating inclines and staircases to reach the monument at the summit, making it very difficult to push a stroller.

Is the Signal Tower safe to climb for toddlers and young kids?

Parents have noted feeling anxious climbing the tower with toddlers because of the steep, narrow iron spiral staircase and gaps in the railings. If you choose to climb, hold your child's hand at all times.

Is there a children's playground in the garden?

No, there are no playground structures in Signal Hill Garden. If your kids need playground play, the Middle Road Children's Playground is very close by, though you must exit Signal Hill Garden to reach it.

Can we go inside the red brick Signal Tower, and is there an entry fee?

Yes, entry is entirely free! However, the tower's interior is only open twice a day (9:00 AM to 11:00 AM and 4:00 PM to 6:00 PM), so plan your visit to match those windows.

Are there restroom facilities and food options inside the park?

Clean public toilets are located inside the park, but there are no dining facilities or kiosks. However, its central Tsim Sha Tsui location means there are plenty of restaurants and convenience stores right outside the entrance on Minden Row.
