Victoria Gardens, Portland, Public garden in Underhill, Isle of Portland, England.

The grassed and formal garden features a central rockery, tennis courts, and a bowling green managed by the Portland Victoria Bowls Club.

The gardens were established in 1897 to commemorate Queen Victoria's Diamond Jubilee, with an official opening ceremony attended by thousands in 1904.

A memorial stone in the gardens marks Portland Harbor's role in D-Day, from where 418,585 troops and 144,093 vehicles embarked for France.

The gardens provide recreational facilities including a children's play area, sports courts, and green spaces for local residents and visitors.

The lower gates installed in 1953 were manufactured by inmates from HM Prison The Verne, demonstrating local community involvement.
