'''Wong Nai Chung Reservoir Park''' is a [[List of urban public parks and gardens in Hong Kong|park]] and [[artificial lake]] in the [[Wong Nai Chung Gap]], [[Happy Valley, Hong Kong|Wong Nai Chung]], Hong Kong, located near [[Hong Kong Parkview]]. It was formerly '''Wong Nai Chung Reservoir''' ({{zh|t=黃泥涌水塘|labels=no}}), a closed [[Reservoirs of Hong Kong|reservoir]] in Hong Kong.<ref>[http://www.fso-tela.gov.hk/accessibility/eng/locations_details.cfm?Photo_Num=00780 Wong Nai Chung Reservoir Park]</ref>

==Background==
Wong Nai Chung Reservoir was the third reservoir in Hong Kong, built in 1889 in Tai Tam Reservoir Road, Wong Nai Chung. Before closure, it had only water storage capacity of just {{convert|27|e6impgal|m3}}, only 38% of the size of its [[Pok Fu Lam Reservoir|Pok Fu Lam counterpart]]. Because of its small water storage capacity, the [[History of Colonial Hong Kong (1800s–1930s)|British Hong Kong]] Government decided to cease operations at the reservoir. The reservoir was then converted to Wong Nai Chung Reservoir Park and opened to the public in 1986. It provided water sports facilities like [[sampan]]s and boats till 14 February 2017.

Some of the components of the reservoir, including the [[weir]], the [[dam]] and the [[valve]] house, were classified as [[List of Grade III historic buildings in Hong Kong|Grade III historic buildings]].<ref>[http://www.wsd.gov.hk/en/education/history/the_legacy_of_waterworks/wong_nai_chung_reservoir/index.html Wong Nai Chung Reservoir]</ref><ref>[http://news.gov.hk/en/hkforkids/default/070510/html/070510en50002.htm Wong Nai Chung Reservoir Park]</ref><ref>{{Cite web |url=http://www.amo.gov.hk/form/historical.pdf |title=List of Graded Historic Buildings in Hong Kong (as at 7 Nov 2008) |access-date=9 August 2009 |archive-date=9 July 2011 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110709224215/http://www.amo.gov.hk/form/historical.pdf |url-status=dead }}</ref>

A total of 41 pre-World War II waterworks structures located in six reservoir areas, namely [[Pok Fu Lam Reservoir]], [[Tai Tam Group of Reservoirs]], Wong Nai Chung Reservoir, [[Kowloon Reservoir]], [[Shing Mun (Jubilee) Reservoir]] and [[Aberdeen Reservoir]], were [[Declared monuments of Hong Kong|declared as monuments]] in September 2009. The weir, the dam and value house of Wong Nai Chung Reservoir are now declared monuments.<ref>[http://www.heritage.gov.hk/en/buildings/monuments_89.htm 3 Historic Structures of Wong Nai Chung Reservoir], Conserve and Revitalise HongKong Heritage,published on 24 September 2009</ref>
