of the park, is located within Lai Kok Estate, on the opposite side of Lai Chi Kok Road, and formerly came under the management of the Housing Department. It was opened as a park in 1984 and redeveloped in the 2000s (as part of the Stage II expansion project). During the redevelopment the bicycle field and the volleyball courts were removed and replaced with a landscaped garden. Memorial The park was once occupied by the Sham Shui Po Camp. During the Japanese occupation of Hong Kong between 1941 and 1945, the camp was used for prisoners of war. Many of them died in the camp. Inside the park, several trees were planted 26 August 1989 by Hong Kong Prisoners of War Association in memory of the soldiers who died during the Battle of Hong Kong and in the prison during that period. Furthermore, two maple trees were planted by Hong Kong Veterans Association of Canada on 5 December 1991 in memory of Canadian soldiers who died in the detention camp. Crows In the early 2000s, the park and surrounding areas attracted many crows to resite to cause much nuisance to residences nearby. The first wave of bird flu outbreak of type H5N1 at the time aroused much concern to the community.
