Hi there,

Part of the orginal park still remains despite rebuilding and refurbishing might have taken place in the past decades.  I believe the original park took up the whole lot of the present day St. Stephen's site.

You can get a rough idea of the park's location by clicking on the "West End Park" link under the "Places shown in this photo" heading above. I'm not sure exactly where the little Pavilion stood though.

Hi there,

There is in fact a pavilion there now, but I don't think it is the same one.  I wonder if Mr Cheng Po Hung would know something about this park.

Best Regards,

Between 1913-1926, portions of West End Park were re-appropriated for other use by the Government. It would appear that the extent of the original area may have been considerably reduced during this period.

This is actually a picture of Blake Gardens looking west. Here is a composite view from Facebook:

The Houses on the right of the picture run along the south side of Tai Ping Shan Street.
