Introduction

Tamar Park, located at Harcourt Road, Admiralty, Hong Kong, is a part of the Tamar Development Project. Adjacent to the new Central Government Offices and the Legislative Council Complex, it covers an area of around 1.76 hectares. The park was opened for public use on 10 October 2011. Designed with elegant simplicity, the park offers broad views of the picturesque Victoria Harbour. Spacious green lawns, rolling out like "green carpets", provide a swathe of verdant open space for visitors to stroll or sit. Other park facilities include a landscaped garden, water features, a floating platform, Tamar Corner, an amphitheatre and Tamar Cafe. The amphitheatre has a seating capacity of about 240 and is available for booking by organisations for staging cultural and leisure activities as well as performances. The Park will provide visitors with access to the Central Piers and the Star Ferry Pier via the adjoining Central and Western District Promenade (Central Section).
