New Country Park
[edit]In 2017, the Hong Kong Government announced that it was planning to designate the area surrounding Robin's Nest as a country park, called Robin's Nest Country Park.[2] This proposed designation was made in June 2019.[3] As of 2021, the final legislative work on the designation is still in progress.[4] On March 1, 2024, Robin's Nest Country Park was officially established, becoming Hong Kong's 25th Country Park.[5]
