Victoria Park, Bournemouth, Football stadium in Bournemouth, England.
Victoria Park is a football ground in Bournemouth with approximately 3,000 spectator seats serving as the home venue of Bournemouth Poppies Football Club. The facility has the necessary infrastructure to host Wessex League Premier Division matches.
The ground opened in 1890 on former farmland as a football venue. Between 1928 and 1934, it also hosted greyhound racing events before returning to its primary purpose.
The ground brings together supporters of the local team who follow Wessex League Premier Division matches throughout the year. These fans form a close-knit community that regularly gathers to watch and cheer for their side.
The ground offers straightforward access to nearby parking facilities for visitors arriving by car. It is located a short distance from Dean Court and can be reached easily by local transport.
During a greyhound racing event in the early 1930s, an unusual interruption occurred when the dogs became distracted during hurdle competitions. This episode reveals a surprising chapter in the ground's past when its use extended beyond football.
