I'd be interested if anyone can inform me of the history of this place. There is a photo on GoogleEarth that mentions it being the former office of the Shui Fong Cattle Ground (and there is a concrete statue of a cow in the park...) but I can't find anything else.

Any ideas anyone?

I found a reference that has a date of 1960 for it and the Chinese name: 瑞峰牛房 which gives a few more hits on the internet.

Email from Alan:

I came to HK in 1971 to build one of the container terminals in Gin Drinkers Bay.....and I traveled to there on Leung Cheung Road.
At the location of the park in your article...there was a road leading down the hill from Leung Cheung Road which I often took to reach my office.

I recall on that hillside...a barn...and dairy cows grazing.....so I believe that the building had something to do with the dairy cows.
