Fung Mat Road WE Park

Location: Hong Kong SAR

Year: 2019

Situated along the waterfront of Sai Ying Pun, Hong Kong, the park connects Admiralty to the Western District and improves the continuity of the Central and Western District Promenade. Fung Mat Road WE Park is modelled after the pipe play equipment from the 1970s and was designed through a joint effort by the Central and Western District Office, Playright Children’s Play Association, local students and artists.

How might we provide multi-purpose spaces to allow flexible use?

4 containers serve as portable exhibition spaces and locations for diverse artistic and creative workshops. The art displays are consistently updated to align with various themes.

How might we make the POS stand out?

How might we encourage different kinds of play in POS?

How might we incorporate neighbourhood characters to strengthen place attachment?

The park offers unique play equipment inspired by 1970s concrete pipe structures, promoting a more adventurous play experience in Hong Kong. It encourages children to participate in the creation of play space. It aims to preserve local culture and collective memories through pipe play equipment, which mimics the sculptural pieces in the Shek Lei Playground from the 1970s. The concrete pipes also symbolise the district’s culture, resonating with the sewer pipe beneath Fung Mat Road across Victoria Harbour.

How might we co-create POS with users?

Local students are part of the “designers” of WE Park. With the use of recycled materials, children design and construct their ideal play equipment.
