"Victoria Park" Stafford Things to Do Tip by Gillybob

Victoria Park was originally laid out in 1908 and will celebrate its centenary in 2008. Approximately four acres of marshy land was bought and improved to create the original park which was named Victoria Pleasure Grounds. The design included the River Sow and many of the original paths and flower beds are still evident.

The park includes a bowling green, bandstand and casual areas. The Coronation Bridge was built to link the two parts of the park and in the 1930's more land was included to make room for tennis courts and a children's paddling pool.

Victoria Park is a great place to sit and watch the world go by - or enjoy a picnic lunch!

Directions: Victoria Park is located opposite the town's train station.
