Victoria Park, Urban park in downtown Kitchener, Ontario, Canada

Victoria Park is a 27-acre (11 ha) park in downtown Kitchener, Ontario, opened on 27 August 1896. Its artificial lake, fed by Schneider Creek, surrounds three small islands and is crossed by several bridges. The park holds a pavilion, a bandstand, a historic boathouse, the Victoria Park Gallery and Archives, and a cast-bronze statue of Queen Victoria unveiled in May 1911.

The city bought 27 acres from the Joseph E. Schneider homestead in 1895 and drained the swamp; some residents opposed the purchase as too far outside town. The park opened on 27 August 1896 with its lake, bridges and three islands already in place, and was named for Queen Victoria ahead of her Diamond Jubilee. A first pavilion by Charles Knechtel, added in 1902, burned in 1916 and was replaced in 1924.

The park's name honours Queen Victoria, chosen ahead of her Diamond Jubilee; a cast-bronze statue by Raffaele Zaccaquini was unveiled on Victoria Day 1911, funded by the Princess of Wales Chapter of the IODE. A 1996 monument recalls the bronze bust of Kaiser Wilhelm I, installed in 1897 and thrown into the lake in 1914. Victoria Parkrun, a free 5K, is held every Saturday morning.

The Gaukel Street entrance holds the clock tower moved from the old City Hall, set beside a fountain and Ernest Daetwyler's luggage sculpture. Victoria Parkrun, a free 5K, starts here every Saturday morning. The lake's 2.2 km shoreline was rebuilt with concrete and stone retaining walls during the 2011 restoration.

A 1996 monument with a plaque tells the story of the bronze bust of Kaiser Wilhelm I, installed in 1897 and shipped from Germany. Vandals threw it into the lake in August 1914; recovered and moved to the Concordia club, it was stolen again on 15 February 1916 and never seen again. The 118th Battalion is rumoured to have melted it into napkin rings.
