Sai Lau Kok Garden

Sai Lau Kok Gardenis a public park located in Tsuen Wan, New Territories, Hong Kong. Managed by the Leisure and Cultural Services Department, the garden covers an area of approximately 2,748 square meters. It is situated adjacent to the Tsuen Wan MTR station and remains open 24 hours a day. The upper level of the garden is connected to the Tsuen Wan footbridge network, while the lower level houses a multi-purpose activity center. Originally constructed in 1987 as part of the Hong Kong Development Department’s environmental beautification initiatives, the garden underwent a major redevelopment under the Community Signature Project Scheme (Tsuen Wan District), coordinated by the Home Affairs Department (Project No.: 461RO). The redevelopment, which cost approximately HK$95 million, sparked public controversy. Critics referred to it as a potential “white elephant” project, citing concerns over large-scale tree removal, premature commencement of works, and disturbances to nearby residents. The garden was officially closed for reconstruction on November 7, 2016, and redevelopment work commenced on November 11, 2016. Upon completion, Sai Lau Kok Garden was reopened to the public on September 25, 2019.
