I am johnpoontf, a new cacher who's made Tai Kok Tsui his home. After unearthing nearly a hundred caches, my enthusiasm has grown, pushing me to contribute more to my community. Taking the initiative, I'm proud to introduce the Tai Kok Tsui Series. This district, which bridges the dynamic areas of Sham Shui Po, Mong Kok, and Yau Ma Tei, has a compelling history. Once a pier, its reclaimed lands now bustle with residential life. As geocachers explore this series, they'll traverse an area that beautifully interweaves its storied past with its vibrant present.
Nestled in Tai Kok Tsui, Anchor Street Playground, also referred to as Truss Street Playground, is an urban oasis cherished by many. A harmonious blend of athletic fields, this verdant space features a basketball court, a hard-floor football field, and areas dedicated to both children and the elderly. The thoughtfully designed children's playground is bifurcated according to age groups, catering to those aged 2-5 and 5-12. Commuters from Mong Kok to Tai Kok Tsui Road often find solace here, and visitors consistently commend its array of entertainment options, from elderly fitness stations to children's amenities. Recent visitors have applauded its environment, which remains calm despite its central location, with some relishing in their delightful experiences and promising return visits. Additionally, the park boasts commendable accessibility, designed with ramps and barrier-free facilities to cater to wheelchairs and individuals with reduced mobility. Adjacent landmarks include The Church of Christ in China Ming Kei College and the Mayfair Centre, making it a strategic rendezvous point for both relaxation and recreation.
Do note that the opening hours of Anchor Street Park is 6am - 11pm.
