Tucked away in Tai Po along Tat Wan Road and adjacent to the Tai Po River, Tat Wan Road Sitting-out Area is a modest, free-entry municipal park managed by the LCSD. Spanning approximately 840 to 880 square meters, it serves as a quiet neighborhood retreat for families and pet owners. The space features basic play facilities, elderly fitness equipment, and a designated Inclusive Park for Pets area, making it a low-key spot for brief outdoor playtime, relaxation, or walking the family dog.

Good to know

No, admission is completely free for everyone.

Where is the closest place to use a restroom or change a diaper?

There are no restrooms inside the park. The closest facilities can be found at the nearby Tai Po Market MTR Station or inside Uptown Plaza, which are both about a 5 minute walk away.

What play and exercise facilities are actually onsite?

The facility includes one set of children's play equipment, one set of elderly fitness equipment, a Tai Chi area with a sitting bench, and four arbours with bench seating.

Are dogs allowed to run off-leash here?

No, although it is an Inclusive Park for Pets, dogs must be kept on a leash at all times and remain under proper control to ensure the safety of playing children.

What should we do in case of bad weather?

The park has four 3 meter long covered arbours that provide minor shelter, but because it is entirely outdoor, it is not suitable for rainy days. Families should head to the indoor areas of nearby Uptown Plaza if it rains.
