On the left, there was a bank
On the left, there was a bank. The sign reads 香港友聯銀行.(Union Bank of Hong Kong)
According to 1967 年香港年鑑, the address of the bank was 33-35 chatham road. Its location is at the chatham rd-hart ave junction at the union building (友聯大廈).
At the lower right corners there were two basketball courts for children and one that looks that a tennis court.
Here two pictures of those playgrounds. Also one can see the railroad tracks and some warehouses.

Chatham Road Children's Playground and Rest Garden
In short, Chatham Road Playground. The recently posted photos were probably taken near the jiunction of Mody and Chatham Roads as Ocean View Court can be seen in your top photo.
Empress Hotel
I think the photos would've been taken from the Empress Hotel?
