Victoria Park is a good sized park (six hectares) immediately north of the Stonehouse area of Plymouth. With large flat grass areas, a great play area with wheelchair accessible features, a small cycle track, multi-use games area and bowling green as well as beautiful, mature trees - it's a lovely space for a day out.
Before the creation of the park the area comprised saltmarshes at the head of Stonehouse Creek known as Deadlake. Molesworth Road at the western end of the park was once a toll bridge allowing horse and coach traffic to travel safely between Devonport and Plymouth. Originally designed to be completed for Queen Victoria's Diamond Jubilee celebrations in 1897, and named in her honour. The park wasn't completed until 1905, four years after the great lady's death. The former park keeper's lodge is in the centre of the park, opposite the playground.
