Tsz Wan Shan Playground 慈雲山中心歷奇遊樂場

While everyone is talking about the NEW and  quite happening shopping mall playground at MOKO, I took kids to one at Tsz Wan Shan Shopping Centre.  It’s another free playground at the shopping mall but this one with quite a big area of water splashing equipments, huge climbing nets  and rope climber. There’s a 2-storey slide for user age 7 or 120cm and above. K is at the borderline and was thinking to give it a go, but then she walk away after hearing the other big kid saying it’s steep and too fast 😂  Kids spent most of the time under the shower, jumping in the puddles, then running around with other kids playing catch. We were there for a session, they had fun, but I don’t think it’s worth a second visit.   Tips:  ✅ bring extra clothes because kids will definitely get wet  ✅ wear socks in case you need a grip  ✅ shoes off at all area with rubber flooring ✅ there’s locker if you need to store personal items   ✅ get tickets to entry at the p...

Coombe Road’s Children Playground

After spending some time at Wan Chai Gap Park’s playground, we walked across to another playground, sitting right next to the metered parking lots, closer to the Police Museum.  Another classic playground with swings at the back, climbing nets and bars, fireman’s pole, twirling slide and a rather steep slide. However, this playground offer something  my kids love it so much they spent almost an hour on it - a spinning top with climbing nets! It’s in a shape where the spinning is based on the gyroscopic effect when kids climbing the nets.  Shade: No  Enclosed: No Toilet: Public toilet across the road Refreshment: Food stall across the road  Mom : ⭐️ (It’s cool to be able to play at 2 playground at once though)  Kids: ❤️ ❤️  How to get there:  - citybus no 15 and get off at wan chai gap road station - taxi from wanchai approx $60  - drive and park at the metered carpark at 23 Coombe Road (right next to the park)  Post in regards of playgro...

Wan Chai Gap Park

This is quite a hidden park in between Coombe Road and Mount Cameron Road. It’s so quiet and we have the playground to ourselves most of the time. I was quite surprised to see a food stall selling snacks, hot food and cold beverage.  Apparently this park is a refreshment stop for hikers taking the “Wan Chai Gap Road to Aberdeen Country Park” trail.  The park is remote and quite on weekday, too quiet that we met a mommy wild boar and her piglets searching for food from the trash cans. Kids were so excited to see the adorable piglets but I have to warn them about getting too close to the wild animals. It’s a proper park, with tables, chairs and benches, the garden is being taken care of and it’s rather clean and peaceful environment.  The playground is right next to food stall, with benches around it. A classic playground with swings, tunnels, slides, simple climbing bars and the fireman’s pole. The only special is a short zipline. It’s far too simple, perhaps great fun for...
