King George V Memorial Park (Kowloon) [1941- ]

This photo shows the site of King George V Memorial Park (Kowloon) in 1948. Shortly after opening Hong Kong was invaded and occupied by the Japanese. Wikipedia refers that the park was partly destroyed and used as a refuse dump. In 1948 it looks as if the site has been cleared already. Only a pavilion and a small building survived the war.

In 2011 I took a photo of a pavilion inside the park

I wonder if this is the one from the 1948 photo, but likely not.

Google Maps description claims there is a statue inside the park of King George V, but I didn’t see one when visiting recently. Did the Japanese destroy it in the war?

The newspaper report of the park's opening that Moddsey mentioned (see page 12) says:

... a bronze plaque of His Late Majesty King George V over [the main entrance gate] looks out on the path leading to the park."

I guess that would have been removed during the Japanese occupation.

I don't know of any statue of the king in the park, so it sounds like a mistake on the Google Map.
