Blake Garden

Blake Garden was opened in 1894. The outbreak of plague causes much death and the language barriers lead to misunderstanding of the diseases prevention measures. To cope with the problem, the government adopt emergency regulations and force citizens to leave the Tai Ping Shan district. After they moved away, the district was reconstructed to be a new community. Market Street, Po Yan Street, Upper Station Street, and Pound Lane were the border of the community. The original district was reconstructed to become a park name with the governor of Hong Kong at that time. For now, the park provides spaces for people to take a rest, play different types of ball games, etc. Also, there is a commemorative board that recorded the history.
