Discover why our wood is petrified

A quiet corner of Tsuen Wan will open in 2023 to become home to Hong Kong’s first museum grade fossil garden, an urban parkland designed to connect the city with its geological roots. Nature meets technology in this showcase of wood fossils, one of the largest collections in Asia. These remarkable collection, millions of years old, will be brought to life in an immersive, walk through, edutainment garden; a fascinating destination for curious minds of all ages.

Exploring beyond your imagination

The Nina Park will invite you to explore, play, discover, and go on a voyage of a million lifetimes. Our innovative urban park will be packed full of surprises, providing entertainment as well as relaxation in the heart of the city. Interact with mobile Augmented Reality to explore back through the millennia to a time before man roamed this planet. Marvel at the beautiful Time Totem, a sculptural water clock sitting at the centre of Nina Park. This interactive timepiece will also highlight the sustainable operation of the park. Visit the resource centre and engage in a hands-on learning session about this fascinating age millions of years ago. Multimedia displays will guide visitors through arrays of petrified wood fossils, encouraging enquiry and learning. And when you’re looking to relax, you can keep cool and be entertained in the fan-shaped amphitheatre.

  • Time Totem
    Bringing out the theme of time for Nina Park and providing visitors with clear orientation, a tripod structure over seven metres tall has been built at the intersection of different walking routes to serve as a focal point in the park. Various time-related elements are built into the totem. These elements are designed to inspire visitors, hoping they will "Learn from the past, seize the present and plan for the future".

  • Smart Bench
    To give visitors better, more comfortable and convenient experiences, many pieces of garden furniture and other installations have been turned "smart". The seating has been integrated with multiple functions. These "smart benches' inform people of the daily programmes, real-time weather from HK Observatory and detect the surrounding micro-climate. A solar panel has been installed to allow visitors to recharge their mobile phones. At the other end, one bench has been turned into a planter for mosquito-repelling herbs.

Innovation meets the most ancient of relics

“Learn from the past. Seize the moment. And plan for the future.” This is the inspiration behind Dr LK Chan’s designs for the Nina Park, Hong Kong’s only wood fossil edutainment destination. Chinachem Group’s brief to the architect has been an opportunity for Dr Chan to deploy leading edge technology in the presentation of these stones, some of the oldest artefacts to be displayed publicly in the city.
