"We are confident that the park will add further international attention to our prosperous city. The vanishing of the squatter area has not brought an end to the history of the Kowloon Walled City. Instead, memories of the past, both good and bad, have been enshrined in the new park," he added.
The park, scheduled to be opened to the public at the end of this year, was officially handed over to the Recreation and Culture Branch today.
The project, starting in August last year, has taken less than 14 months to complete at a cost of $61 million.
