Victoria Park

Victoria Park is a public green space in Swinton built on the former grounds of an old manor house, featuring tennis courts and two bowling greens. Tree-lined pathways wind through landscaped gardens that cover the entire area.

The park opened to the public in 1897 on the grounds of a former manor house. A Grade II listed Victorian bandstand was built at that time to commemorate Queen Victoria's extended reign.

The park served as the setting for a significant civic ceremony in 1934 when local authorities received their municipal charter. Today visitors can sense the place's importance to the community and its role as a gathering space for local events.

The park has multiple sports facilities and designated accessible pathways throughout the grounds. Regular maintenance keeps the space in good condition for visitors of all abilities.

The park has received the Green Flag Award three times, a recognition given only to spaces meeting rigorous quality and environmental standards. This achievement reflects the commitment to sustained care and responsible management over time.
