Victoria Park, Municipal park in Canton district, Cardiff, Wales
Victoria Park is a municipal recreational space in Cardiff with mature trees, flower beds, tennis courts, and a synthetic turf field for five-a-side football. The different sports facilities and planted areas create varied zones for activity and rest.
Cardiff City Council created this recreational ground between 1897 and 1898 as a commemoration of Queen Victoria's 60th year of reign. The timing of its establishment reflected the growing demand for public green spaces in the expanding city.
The park serves as a neighborhood gathering place where residents come together for music events and markets during warmer months. These regular occasions shape how local people experience and value the space.
The park opens at 7:30 AM and closes 30 minutes before sunset, with parking available on neighboring streets. Plan your visit for clear weather if you want to use the grassy areas comfortably.
A bronze sculpture honors Billy, a seal who lived in the park from 1912 to 1939 and became a beloved figure in its past. The statue marks where the splash pad now sits, serving as a quiet reminder of that era.
