Fa Hui Park

1

Fa Hui Park is a park located north of Boundary Street, in Mong Kok, Kowloon, Hong Kong. It occupies 3.19 ha. It is one of the sites where a Lunar New Year Fair is held every year. There is a 1,100 m2 community garden in the park. Participants of "Community Garden Programme" are allowed to grow crops and ornamental plants in the community garden of Fa Hui Park; they are also permitted to take the harvest home afterwards.

History

Before Fa Hui Park was built, 8,000 squatters lived there. On 1 November 1955, a disastrous fire devastated over 400 huts, killed four persons and left over 6,000 people homeless. On 22 October 1956, another fire made a further 2,000 people homeless. After accommodating the victims at various resettlement estates in Kowloon, the Government built Fa Hui Park there.
