Braemar Reservoir [1894-1975]

There are some notes about it on the Wikipedia Page for Choi Sai Woo Park.

I'm not sure of the date it changed from reservoir to park. In the book Mapping Hong Kong, the 1964 map (plate 3-6) shows it as "Braemar Reservoir", but the 1990 map (plate 3-7) shows it as "Choi Sai Woo Park", so sometime between those two dates.
