地點介紹 Site Description

九龍公園位於尖沙咀,是九龍第二大的公園。公園前身是威菲路軍營,1970年完成改建,曾一度是香港博物館的臨時地點。

公園內有不少樹木,亦有種滿玫瑰的瑰麗花園和中式花園,內有荷花池等,因而有各種市區雀鳥在此居住,如黑領椋鳥和紅耳鵯。

逢星期五早上7時30分至9時30分,公園都會和香港觀鳥會舉辦觀鳥活動,可即場報名參加。

Kowloon Park is located in Tsim Sha Tsui. It was formerly Whitfield Barracks and was reconverted in 1970. It was once the temporary location of the Hong Kong Museum of History.

There are many trees in the park, along with a rose-filled Colour Garden and a Chinese garden with a lotus pond. Hence many urban birds find shelter in the park, for example, the Black-collared Starling and the Red-whiskered Bulbul.

From 7:30 am to 9:30 am every Friday morning, the park organises a bird-watching activity jointly with the Hong Kong Bird Watching Society. Visitors can enroll through walk-ins.
