Victoria Recreation Ground, Recreation area in Newport, United Kingdom
Victoria Recreation Ground encompasses various facilities including tennis courts, a cricket pitch, a sports hall, and walking paths across its spacious grounds.
The land was donated by Tankerville Chamberlayne to honor Queen Victoria's Diamond Jubilee in 1897 and officially opened by Princess Henry of Battenberg in 1902.
Hampshire County Cricket Club selected this venue for first-class cricket matches in 1938 and 1939, establishing its importance in regional sports history.
The grounds maintain multiple sports facilities and welcome visitors throughout the year, with dedicated spaces for cricket, tennis, petanque, and community gatherings.
Newport Victoria Sports and Social Club formed in 1983 through the merger of several local clubs, receiving substantial funding for facility improvements.
