This 26-hectare park, opened in 1994, sits in the middle of the tower blocks. Early morning, joggers, tai chi grandmothers and men with long camera lenses chasing birds all share the same paths. On weekend afternoons families spread picnic mats across the lawn. It is an easy walk after breakfast on Yongkang Street.
