Victoria Park, Urban park and Grade II listed garden in central Portsmouth, England.

Victoria Park spans 15 acres north of Portsmouth Guildhall, featuring diverse trees, shrubs, flowerbeds, walking paths, and recreational spaces for visitors.

The park opened in 1878 as Portsmouth's first public park, constructed on former defensive ramparts and designed by Alexander McKenzie with Victorian landscaping.

Multiple Grade II listed naval monuments stand within the park, including memorials to HMS Orlando, HMS Shah, and HMS Victoria with a bell from Taku Forts.

A new £3.2 million redevelopment project includes the Green House community building with solar panels, accessible toilets, and facilities for workshops and events.

The park maintains an aviary housing Indian peafowl, giant rabbits, and finches, continuing a tradition of animal keeping since the late 19th century.
