Victoria Park, Grade II listed park in Leicester, England
Victoria Park encompasses 69 acres of level grassland with tree-lined paths, ornamental shrubs, and recreational areas near Leicester's city center.
The land served as Leicester's racecourse from 1806 to 1883 before its transformation into a public park, which officially opened in 1882.
The park features the Grade I listed Arch of Remembrance, created by Edwin Lutyens in 1923, commemorating those who died in World War I.
The grounds include facilities for tennis, basketball, bowls, croquet, football, cricket, along with a skate park and an adventure playground.
The northern entrance displays two distinctive lodges designed by Edwin Lutyens, constructed in the early 1930s with Portland stone details.
