The government said it would close Kowloon Park early on Thursday, ahead of a planned rally in Tsim Sha Tsui in support of a woman who suffered a severe eye injury during anti-government protests in August.
The notice from the Leisure and Cultural Services Department said all facilities at the park would close at 4pm, because of “special circumstances that will possibly happen nearby”.
It added that more cultural and leisure facilities throughout Hong Kong could also be closed early and at short notice to ensure safety.
The rally in Tsim Sha Tsui, on World Sight Day, is in support of a woman who was hit in her right eye, allegedly by a police beanbag round, during protests in the district on August 11.
Protesters plan to gather in the evening at a bus stop outside Tsim Sha Tsui Police Station, which is located just north of Kowloon Park.
The Mira Place mall on Nathan Road announced that it would be closing early, at 4.30pm.
