West Kowloon Art Park
Busy times
About this place
The Art Park in the West Kowloon Cultural District is a harbourside park of trees and open lawns where families picnic, play and come for seasonal outdoor festivals. It is open 6am to 11pm daily.
Picnics are fine, but fires, barbecues and cooking are not. Ball games, bikes, skateboards and roller skates are allowed, and dogs are welcome on a lead. Restaurants and cafes sit at Freespace and along the waterfront. From Kowloon Station Exit C1 or D1, the walk through ELEMENTS takes about 10 to 15 minutes.
Things to know
Picnic rules
Picnics on the lawns are fine, but no fires, barbecues or cooking. Kites are allowed on strings up to 50m long.
Dogs share the lawns
Pets are allowed on a lead or under control, and a double-gated Pet Zone lets dogs run off the lead. Pets cannot go into Freespace or other indoor venues, except guide and assistance dogs.
Borrow chairs and umbrellas
The Mobile Information Booth lends outdoor chairs, umbrellas and power banks against a deposit. It opens 10am to 6pm on weekdays and 10am to 7pm at weekends and on public holidays.
Typhoon closures
The park closes when Typhoon Signal No. 8 or above is in force. Parts of it can also be shut for works or events.
