Summary from English Wikipedia (enwiki)

Kwai Chung Park is a public park currently under construction in Hong Kong. It is located in the southern part of Kwai Chung, within the Kwai Tsing District of the New Territories, on the site of the former Gin Drinkers Bay landfill, which was decommissioned in 1979. The park is connected to the nearby Kwai Shing Estate by a pedestrian bridge. Plans to transform the landfill into a major town park date back to the 1980s under the British Hong Kong administration. However, just as the project neared completion, the discovery of methane on-site forced authorities to indefinitely postpone its opening. In 2009, a 3.9-hectare section of the site was repurposed as the Hong Kong Jockey Club International BMX Park, which saw only limited public use before being closed in 2010. This area is expected to form the first phase of the park when it reopens. The remainder of the landfill has largely been left abandoned, drawing widespread public concern and criticism. The site was cited twice in reports by the Audit Commission for mismanagement. It wasn’t until 2018 that part of the area was finally developed into a temporary cricket ground. If the entire landfill is eventually incorporated into the park, Kwai Chung Park would span approximately 27 hectares, making it the largest park in Hong Kong—larger than both the completed Tai Po Waterfront Park and the under-construction Metro Park in the Kai Tak Development Area of East Kowloon.

Summary from 汉语 / Chinese Wikipedia (zhwiki)

葵涌公園(英語:Kwai Chung Park)是香港一個建設中的公園,位於新界葵青區葵涌南部,即已於1979年停止使用的醉酒灣堆填區,並設有行人天橋連接葵盛邨。港英政府早於1980年代便計劃將當地發展成大型市鎮公園,但在近落成時被發現公園範圍內有沼氣,令公園被迫無限期延後開放。其中3.9公頃在2009年闢作香港賽馬會國際小輪車場,之後僅維持有限度開放,2010年已關閉(重開後將為一期用地)。堆填區的其餘部分則一直被荒廢,引起各界關注,更先後兩次被審計署批評,直至2018年才將部份範圍建成臨時板球場。假設整個堆填區舊址都被納入公園範圍,葵涌公園將憑多達27公頃的面積成爲全香港面積最大的公園,大於已落成的大埔海濱公園和東九龍啟德發展區興建中的都會公園。
