Sun Yat Sen Park (Chinese: 紀念孫中山市政公園; Template:Lang-pt) is an urban park in Nossa Senhora de Fátima, Macau, China. The park is named for the founding father of the Republic of China, Dr Sun Yat Sen.

The park is a 70,000 square meters (17.3 acres) urban park located in northern Macau in Our Lady of Fatima Parish along the border with Zhuhai, Mainland China. The park is located next to Canal dos Patos, but access to the former canal is closed off, and Barrier Gate.

  • aviary
  • Victorian greenhouse
  • flower gardens
