The much-anticipated Kai Tak Sky Garden has finally opened its doors to the public. As part of the Kai Tak Development project that includes a total planning area of 320 hectares covering the ex-airport site and districts including Kowloon City, Wong Tai Sin and Kwun Tong, the new landmark is touted as Hong Kong’s first sky garden that offers locals a high-quality public space to relax and enjoy different recreational activities.
Located at the former Kai Tak runway, the sky garden is built to pay homage to the iconic Kai Tak Airport. It has a striking streamlined outlook that comes complete with noise barriers in a wavy, smooth design, which also imbued with aviation-themed aesthetics as reflected in the seats, pedestrian walkaways and a multi-function landscaped deck that resembles an aircraft’s body and wings.
