King George V Memorial Park, Hong Kong
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
King George V Memorial Park, Hong Kong (Chinese: 香港佐治五世紀念公園) is an urban park in Sai Ying Pun and one of the few parks in Hong Kong bearing the former colonial links to the territory's past.
The park contains a basket ball court, a hard surface football ground, sitting out areas, a public toilet, and a child care centre. Access is available from Eastern Street and Hospital Road.
Sai Ying Pun Community Complex is located near the park.

[edit] Proposed Development
In March 2004, the MTR changed the planned location of the Sai Ying Pun (MTR) station back east but south of the initial alignment to under King George V Memorial Park. A source from MTR Corporation Limited (MTRCL) revealed to the local newspaper Ming Pao that this location was chosen to avoid any nuisance during works under major roads. The location would also better suit the needs of Mid-Levels residents,[1] said. Part of the Park will be closed temporarily to the public for the duration of the construction.[2]
