Centenary Garden of the Urban Council

Centenary Garden of the Urban Council

The Urbun Council Centenary Garden is a park in Hong Kong, located in Tsim Sha Tsui East, Kowloon, south of the Hong Kong Science Museum. It is an open-air park managed by the Leisure and Cultural Services Department. The park is surrounded on all sides by shopping complexes, including the New Mandarin Plaza, the former site of the Great World Nightclub.

The site of the Centenary Garden of the Urban Council was formerly part of the railway track connecting Ho Man Tin and Tsim Sha Tsui stations of the Kowloon–Canton Railway. After the railway changed its terminus to Hung Hom Station, the tracks were dismantled and the area was turned into a park. The park opened in 1983 and was named to commemorate the 100th anniversary of the establishment of the Urban Council.

Near Chatham Road South and Carnarvon Road, there is an elongated fountain, alongside which stand five Greek-style stone columns originally from the former General Post Office building in Central, Hong Kong Island. Another large circular fountain near Mody Road also makes for a great photography spot.
