The site where Sham Shui Po Park, Lai Kok Estate, Lai On Estate and Dragon Centre are located were formerly the Sham Shui Po Barracks (Chinese :深水埗軍營) of the British Army between the 1910s to 1977. During World War II, the barrack was attacked by the Japanese Army and was used as a concentration camp during the Japanese occupation from 1941 to 1945. After the war, the barracks were once again used by British Army until 1977, when they were closed. [1] Part of the site became Lai Kok Estate in 1981, and Sham Shui Po Park in 1983, while another part was a refugee camp for Vietnamese boat people. [2] In 1989, the refugee camp was closed and replaced by Lai On Estate and Dragon Centre in 1993 and 1994 respectively.
In 1992, the Sham Shui Po Ferry Pier terminated ferry service due to West Kowloon Reclamation Project.
