Starting from the mid-1970s, land reclamation was carried out in Aberdeen. The reclaimed land was mainly used for constructing the Aberdeen Centre and Aberdeen Praya Road. The area south of Aberdeen Praya Road was designated for recreational use, where a waterfront park was built. The park was completed and opened in 1992, becoming the third waterfront park in Hong Kong after Tsim Sha Tsui Promenade and Tsuen Wan Promenade.
Aberdeen Promenade stretches about 800 meters from its western end at the junction of Aberdeen Praya Road and the western section of Aberdeen Main Road near the Aberdeen Fish Market, along the western Aberdeen Typhoon Shelter, to its eastern end at Aberdeen Praya Road near Kwun Hang Estate and the Aberdeen Tennis & Squash Centre, close to Hoi Gam Path.
Aberdeen Promenade features facilities such as an open-air plaza, children’s playground, and basketball courts. Along the shoreline, there are several kaido and ferry piers offering routes to Ap Lei Chau, Lamma Island, and Po Toi Island, as well as a ferry service to the Jumbo Floating Restaurant.
