At 15.8 hectares, Morse Park is one of the largest public parks in Hong Kong. An urban oasis filled with green space and landscaped gardens, the park is ideal for relaxed strolls, as well as activities at its sports centre, swimming pool, skateboarding park, running trail and football pitches. Named after Sir Arthur Morse, the former head of HSBC who did much to revive Hong Kong’s fortunes after World War II, the park is split into four different sections; highlights include the arboretum, and Wong Tai Sin Cultural Garden, which includes a century-old well and tai chi square. The Chinese New Year flower markets are a lovely alternative to the more crowded festivities at Victoria Park.
