Victoria Park Swimming Pool
The unclear Chinese characters
When I enlarged the photo, the three faintly visible characters seem to be "印製廠" or "印刷廠" which means a printing factory. The characters of the factory were written from right to left. The actual name of the factory consists of two Chinese characters, but they were covered by the structure of the swimming pool in either photo.
I did a search on Gemini. I was very much surprised by its detailed findings as below:
Re: Garden's
Hi there,
I vaguely remember there was a candy factory near the swimming pool as well. Someone senior uncle (not related) told me decades ago about it. He was the manager. The factory was sold to Garden bakery (I could not recall when).

Location
Moddsey and Jimmy, thank you for working out the photo's location. I'd convinced myself the background couldn't be near Victoria Park, so it's good to have that cleared up.
Here's a map of the location, with the red dot showing roughly where the model was standing, and the blue area showing the printing works (also see new Place https://gwulo.com/node/62637).
