Victoria Park, Urban park in Edmonton, Canada
Victoria Park sits along the north bank of the North Saskatchewan River with pathways and green spaces for year-round outdoor activities. The park features an 18-hole golf course with driving range, roofed picnic areas, and trails designed for winter sports.
The park was created to honor Queen Victoria and grew into a central recreational space for the city. The addition of sports facilities and an Olympic-size skating rink later transformed it into a major sports hub.
The Victoria Park Oval serves as a winter gathering place where speed skaters and visitors come together for training and community events. You can see the sport played out on the ice throughout the cold months.
The park is easy to access and large enough to explore at your own pace with various interests in mind. Dress appropriately for the season since the trails and facilities remain open year-round.
The 400-meter skating rink is jointly run by the City of Edmonton and the Edmonton Speed Skating Club for both training and competition. This partnership means the venue welcomes skaters of different skill levels throughout the winter season.
