★★★★★Featured review by Michael Lee

A very quiet playground on the side of the road. Has a big playground for sports like basketball. Has lot of plants inside. There is also few meter parking if you drive up there. Brings back memories when I was a kid used to go there with grandmom and family. Has been renovated to a different layout playground. Still like the old playground that I used to play batminton with my cousins... missed my grandmom much.

🏆 Family Action Verdict

Best for school-age kids and teens who want a proper sports session — the 5-a-side pitch and basketball courts are the main draw. Younger children have open green space to roam. Families driving will find roadside parking directly outside. Skip it if toddler-specific equipment is the priority.

â„šī¸ What to Know Before You Go

💡Wear long trousers or apply insect repellent before arrival — ankle-biting insects are consistent throughout the year
⏰Bus routes 970 and 970X stop directly outside — the pitch is visible from the window
đŸŽŸī¸Roadside parking bays sit directly adjacent to the playground entrance

“The government have recently redone the paths and updated some of the park. The park is simple but lovely. There are many little insects flying around that will bite your ankles so bring a spray or wear trousers.”

“So more about this pitch is that it's a 5 a side pitch. Very easy to reach by bus 970/970x as the pitch is just on the roadside and you can't miss the pitch even while you're still on the bus. Has a toilet facilities, good lights and even drinking fountains. A perfect place to train your touches, stamina or play with your teammates or friends. 5/5”

“Quite a good environment, the public toilet is very dirty, the lighting is a bit strange in some angle, overall the basketball court is in good condition”

Overview

Renovated by the government with updated paths and refreshed equipment, this roadside playground sits among mature greenery on Pok Fu Lam Road. The 5-a-side pitch is visible directly from passing buses on routes 970 and 970X. Facilities include basketball courts, lit pitches, drinking fountains, and toilet blocks. Insects that bite at ankle level are a persistent presence — long trousers or repellent spray are essential.
