The museum is located on the hill beside Coombe Road Playground, which used to be the former Wanchai Gap Police Station. Seeing the big sign, and walking up a flight of steps adjacent you would see the historic traffic post, where the police in the 60s used to station and direct the traffic. It brought back some memories as I remembered I had seen that when I was very young.
The museum is of free admission, but we could not take photos inside. There were a lot of materials showing the history of the police force in HK, with the evolution of uniform, accessories, arms, and other supporting equipment on display. There are also sections related to the triad, the drug production and trafficking, as well as counterfeit money. It is very informative and educational. 
Then we walked to the Aberdeen Reservoir Road, beginning our leisure walk of the Aberdeen Country Park. It is a wide concrete road so easy to navigate. Along the way there were trees offering shades, and here and there you would be able to get a glimpse of the reservoir.
There are some interesting things you would be able to observe, like a stone water tower that is now in now a bit wobbly and in danger of collapsing, a stone construct built into the slope with stone pebble walls, as well as a nice pavilion to rest. 
The day's weather was simply gorgeous and there were not that many people on the road so it was very comfortable and relaxing. Turning to the Aberdeen Fitness Trail and then walk further, not too long you would reach a number of big BBQ sites. Seeing many more people enjoying their time, the trail merged led back to the Aberdeen Reservoir Road and reaching the end.
The total time to complete this walk at a leisure pace is around 50 minutes.
