Hong Kong Park

Hong Kong Park is a public park, located in Central, in Hong Kong.

The park is located at the former location of the Victoria Barrack, which had been built between 1867 and 1910. The barracks were handed to the government in 1979, which turned the area into the present park.

A few buildings were kept, including:

  • Flagstaff House (1846), since 1984 housing the Flagstaff House Museum of Tea Ware
  • Cassels Block (early 20th century), former barracks for married British officers. Now housing the Hong Kong Visual Arts Centre
  • Rawlinson House (early 20th century), former house of the British Deputy General, converted in the 1980s into a marriage registry
  • Wavell House (early 20th century), former quarters for married British officers, conerted in 1991 into the aviary support centre
