Foreword:
Today,
I
took
the
bus
to
George
V
Memorial
Park
in
Kowloon
to
make
this
comment
in
response
to
the
expectations
of
other
Google
Maps
users.
Background:
Construction
of
the
George
V
Memorial
Park
in
Kowloon
began
in
August
1940
and
opened
on
June
11,
1941.
At
that
time,
there
was
a
bronze
statue
of
King
George
of
the
United
Kingdom
in
the
park,
but
there
is
no
such
statue
today.
Park
type:
free
class,
residential
and
neighborhood
park
Location:
The
park
is
located
in
Jordan,
Kowloon,
connected
to
Jordan
Road
westbound,
Canton
Road
southbound,
Shanghai
Street,
Bowring
Street,
and
also
connected
to
Kwun
Chung
Municipal
Services
Building.

Jordan
Battery
Street
platform
near
the
entrance
of
Jordan
Road
in
the
park.
Exit
A
of
Jordan
Station
of
the
MTR,
it
can
be
reached
within
5
minutes.
My
thoughts:
After
the
expansion
of
the
George
V
Memorial
Park
in
Kowloon,
it
still
retains
the
Chinese
official
palace-style
archway
and
garden
design,
and
adds
a
lot
of
green
space,
many
flowers
and
trees,
and
provides
a
variety
of
recreational
facilities.
For
example,
football
and
basketball
courts
(under
maintenance),
children's
playgrounds
(such
as
slides,
wooden
horses,
Qianqiu),
and
elderly
fitness
centers
(such
as
Tai
Chi
massagers).
Therefore,
the
park
is
a
good
place
for
neighborhoods
and
residents
to
"rest
during
the
day".
(At
night,
people
from
different
countries
and
street
sleepers
start
to
increase.
It
is
recommended
to
have
a
rest
with
a
friend
to
feel
safer)
The
Chinese-style
archways,
pavilions,
and
covered
benches
in
the
park
allow
visitors
to
rest,
and
the
number
of
chairs
(total)
is
also
sufficient.
There
are
also
waste
sorting
bins
and
mosquito
killers
in
the
park
to
make
it
easier
for
tourists
to
rest.
In
general,
the
George
V
Memorial
Park
in
Kowloon
is
located
in
the
busy
city,
the
location
is
very
convenient,
there
is
a
lot
of
leisure
space,
many
residents
and
neighborhoods
rest
and
play
here.
However,
I
hope
that
the
park
will
strengthen
security
and
speed
up
the
maintenance
of
the
facilities
in
the
park,
so
that
more
people
can
play
and
relax
in
the
park
for
a
longer
time
and
with
greater
peace
of
mind.

景點：九龍佐治五世紀念公園
前言：今日搭巴士到九龍佐治五世紀念公園黎做呢篇評論，以回應返其他Google地圖網友嘅期望。
背景：九龍佐治五世紀念公園於1940年8月開始興建，於1941年6月11開幕。當時公園內仲有英國嘅國王George唔使驚銅像，但係今日已經唔見到個銅像。
公園類型：免費類，居民及街坊類型公園
地點：公園位於九龍佐敦，連接佐敦道西行，廣東道南行，上海街，寶靈街，亦連接官涌市政大廈。(詳情可以睇評論裡內的平面圖照片)
交通：九巴的2E，3C，14，203C，238P，238X，260X，268B，269B，110的佐敦炮台街台於公園佐敦道入口附近。港鐵的佐敦站A出口，步近5分鐘亦可到達。
感想：九龍佐治五世紀念公園經擴建後，仍保留中國官殿式的牌樓及園林設計，並且加入大量的綠化空間，花草樹木眾多，及提供多種休憩設施，
例如足球及籃球場(維修中)，兒童遊樂場(如滑梯，木馬，千秋)，長者健體園地(如太極揉推器)。因此公園是好適合街坊及居民於"日間休憩"的地方。(入夜時份，不同國藉人士，露宿者開始增多，建議有朋友陪同下休憩會較有安全感)
公園內乘涼的中式牌樓，涼亭，有蓋的長椅均可讓遊人休息，而且(總計)椅子數量亦充足。
園內亦有廢物分類筒，及滅蚊機等設施，以方便遊人們休憩。
總體而言，九龍佐治五世紀念公園於鬧市中，地點十分方便，有大量休憩空間，不少居民及街坊於此休息及玩耍。
惟希望園方加強保安及加快維修園內設施，讓更多人於更長時間及更安心地於公園內嬉戲及休閒。
