There are plenty of weekend attractions for all the family in Kai Tak which has vast open spaces

If you are looking for something to do as a family and especially that you want to take the eyes of the little ones off the mobile’s screen, a weekend family getaway to Kai Tak is the perfect solution.

While the Kai Tak development area is still under development, it already offers a vast amount of lovely green open spaces, where you can spend quality time outdoors with your family while enjoying the convenience of inner-city living.   

Runway Park

With the first phase already completed and open to the public, the Runway Park is located at the tip of the former Kai Tak runway, from where you can take in panoramic views spanning from the harbour to the Lion Rock, Kowloon Peak and Lei Yue Mun.

As homage to the historic Kai Tak airport, part of the runway is retained and integrated into the planning of the Runway Park. For the younger generations or foreigners who have never watched the underbelly of aircrafts as they prepare to land on the former airport, the “Kai Tak Timeline”, which provides a visual history of Kai Tak using historic photos, surely gives them a glimpse of Hong Kong’s aviation history. 

The Runway Park also features a grand lawn as its centrepiece, with seasonal flowers planted on the sides to keep you refreshed. The harbourfront promenade off the central lawn leads all the way to the Kwun Tong promenade. The canopy provides shading suitable for group activities, which in turn serves as a destination of the park.
