As part of the large naval and military installations that dominated this area until the 1970s and 1980s, this site was formerly occupied by the Wellington Battery and the Military Hospital, all associated with the Wellington Barracks. The adjacent military arsenal is recalled in the name of Arsenal Street.
In 2013 to 2018, the garden was closed due to the expansion of Admiralty station for the South Island Line and the Sha Tin to Central Link. The garden now has a clock tower, new entrances to the station and several art pieces.
Refurbishment
As of 2020, the park has been reopened after the construction directly below the site for the extension of Admiralty station. This expansion houses the terminus platforms of the new MTR South Island line (East) and Sha Tin to Central Link. The MTR has refurbished the garden and moved it to the rooftop of the station building.
This list is incomplete. Central has its own template due to the number of sites in that area. Sites specifically associated with University of Hong Kong are listed at the relevant template.
