The flowers in Royal Victoria Park were looking very nice today. It’s difficult to imagine just how many have been grown here since the park was opened in 1830 by the 11 year old Princess Victoria !
It should come as no surprise that Victoria Park has been listed by English Heritage on the Register of Parks and Gardens of Special Historic Interest in England. If your stay in Bath affords you the time, then after admiring the Royal Crescent, spend some of it taking in all “Vicky Park” offers…
Royal Victoria Park must be the finest park and public adventure play area for miles; there really is something for everyone. The adventure play area is very impressive, with thrilling and imaginative equipment grouped roughly according to age group. There are slides, swings, elaborate climbing frames, a sand pit, tunnel slides, a large tyre swing and much more. A skateboard area satisfies the needs of any budding skating pro. At peak times during the summer there is a ‘pay’ bouncy castle and roundabout. Parents’ minds can rest, as there is a lost children area as well as an all day park Supervisor.
A pond provides the perfect place to float model boats and the old park tradition of duck feeding.
