The West Kowloon Cultural District sits on a dramatic harbour-front site in the heart of Hong Kong.
The West Kowloon Cultural District will be developed into one of the world’s largest cultural quarters, blending art, education and public space. Major construction of the West Kowloon Cultural District starts in late 2013, but the headland area of the site and the Nursery Park are now open to the public, with events and festivals taking place across the site throughout the year.
Enjoy a stroll around the Nursery Park at the West Kowloon Cultural District and get a taste of the new waterfront park we will be building over the next few years. Get up close to some of the trees that will be in the future park, enjoy the open air, hire a SmartBike and ride along the promenade, bring your pets or a picnic or just lie back on the lawn – this is public space to be enjoyed.
Alongside the open space, there will be regular Freespace Happening events taking place on every 2ndSunday of the month. Each Freespace Happening will bring together street performers, market stalls, music and other specially programmed events giving you a chance to experience what you can expect in the future cultural district and at the Freespace venue that will lie at the heart of the park. Visit the What’s On section for details of upcoming events.
Please, note that part of the West Kowloon Waterfront Promenade will be temporarily closed from 2 July 2016 due to the Art Park construction. Click here for more information.
