Victoria Park Concerts

I enjoyed my morning walk of 5-miles. The tracks are good for jogging and walking pedestrian and bicycle tracks are marked properly. Restrooms are accessible easily and clean. Picnic tables are big and awesome. The children's play areas are good. Awesome park for dog lovers.

Victoria Park in Leicester is a vibrant hub of activity, with its expansive green spaces, beautiful flower beds, and recreational facilities. It's a beloved destination for locals and visitors alike, offering opportunities for leisurely walks, picnics, sports, and community events. From its historical monuments to its modern amenities, Victoria Park is a testament to Leicester's rich cultural heritage and its commitment to providing accessible green spaces for all.

Very beautiful and peaceful place. A lot of greenery. Plenty of parking spaces and benches for relaxing. There was a Eid festival celebration as well for the Muslim community.

Victoria Park is a fine green space next to the University of Leicester campus. The centrepiece of the park is the magnificent memorial arch, built to commemorate the dead of the First World War. The arch was designed by Sir Edwin Lutyens, as were the beautiful wrought iron gates at the parks Peace Walk and London Road entrances. The area served as the city's race course until 1883; upon the racing find a new home at Leicester Racecourse in Oadby, the area was transformed and is now a peaceful retreat from the buzz of the city. The park has areas of formal flowerbeds as well as winding pathways shaded by avenues of trees– perfect for finding some shade and enjoying a picnic or a good book on a summer’s day. For more active visitors, the park is home to a bowling green, croquet area, 4 tennis courts, football and rugby pitches, a floodlit astro pitch and an outdoor gym.

Great place for a stroll, children’s play area for both big and small children, picnic area, benches, war memorial and a Sikh soldier statue to commemorate the Sikhs contribution to the wars!
