The second phase of Kai Tak Station Square will open on December 17 at Kowloon City District. To commemorate the opening, visitors will be able to participate in free sports and recreational activities as part of the Kai Tak Station Square Kick-off Carnival between 10am and 2pm.
Anyone who attends the carnival will get the chance to take part in spikeball and mölkky matches, as well as body-mind stretching aerobic dance sessions. They can also take pictures with Enggie Pup and Artti Kitty, the mascots of the Leisure and Cultural Services Department. In addition, from December 17 onwards, the public can access a wide range of new facilities in the park.
The new phase of Kai Tak Station Square spans across 8.5 hectares of what used to be the site of the former Kai Tak Airport. Visitors can now access an open plaza with spacious lawn and water features, as well as two children’s play areas, fitness equipment, and a Tai Chi plaza. The government also plans to open two lawn bowls greens here in early 2024. This area of Kai Tak Station Square is also an inclusive park for pets, and will have facilities such as dog excreta collection bins and hand-washing facilities.
The first phase of Kai Tak Station Square opened in December 2021, along with the neighbouring Kai Tak Avenue Park. Phase I of Kai Tak Station Square comprises a lawn and lawn spread across 3.2 hectares on the site of the old airport. The slightly bigger Kai Tak Avenue Park features thematic gardens, a children’s play area, fitness equipment, and a basketball court.
Earlier this year, a new player on the city’s retail landscape, Airside mall, opened in a 47-storey multi-complex and spread over 700,000 square feet. The mall is built where the Kai Tak airport used to be, and pays homage to the historic landmark in his architecture and interior design.
