The Best Beach Playgrounds In Hong Kong

When you’re spending a day at the beach (don’t forget your swimming cossie and sunscreen!), the sprawling sands are usually enough to keep the children occupied. Of course, having a playground close at hand means you could stretch your day out at the seaside that little bit further! A number of our favourite Hong Kong Island and New Territories beaches have small outdoor playgrounds for kids.

Shek O Beach – Children’s playground with easy access to facilities. Location Map.
Repulse Bay – Play equipment for children including a merry-go-round, climbing frames etc. Location Map.

Pet-Friendly Parks In Hong Kong

If you have been struggling with places to take your fur baby, some of the parks listed above are known to be dog-friendly and you can also find a complete list of pet-friendly parks and gardens here. Within the city, these spots are often quite small but serve the purpose if you want to have your kids throw a ball for your playful pups. Other places we love include the Cyberport Waterfront Park (be careful though as there have been cases of dog poisoning in recent years), Penfold Park, Discovery Bay and Stanley Plaza, where there are enough activities and more than enough space for the whole family to enjoy.
