Taking advantage of the park's well-wooded landscape is the open-air Sculpture
Walk. Displays include striking works by local sculptors and a magnificent
bronze statue by Scotland's Sir Eduardo Paolozzi. Other parkland attractions
include a bird lake and aviary, a maze, Chinese gardens and a fine sports
complex with an indoor Olympic-size swimming pool. In a corner of the park
nestles the serene white-marbled Kowloon Mosque and Islamic Centre.
