Victoria Park

Lovely well maintained park on the fringe of the city with lots of shade and also drinking fountains.

It was very quiet when I visited, which made for a perfect time with my dog and son. The space is clean, tidy, and the plants are well-maintained. I didn’t use the public toilets or BBQ areas, so I can’t comment on those. However, while the park is nice overall, the pond in the center looks a bit messy and could use some improvement.

A peaceful park which connects to The university of Sydney. There’s also a swimming pool located within the park.

The little corrella are back.The totem pole has been missing for some time now, it still hasn't returned. A nice park to send some time, it's got a pond. There are large variety of birds 🐦 here, there is a playground and free BBQ facilities and seating. This park also has a public swimming 🏊‍♂️ pool which is open even with this cold weather, 🥶 there is cafe/ restaurant in the old gardeners cottage. It’s a cross the road from broadway shopping centre. The pond had no fish, ells or turtles for a long time, from when they drained it for maintenance 🙄 the council claimed they housed the water animals and they would be returned when the maintenance was finished. I saw a female councillor supervising worker last year!!! Happy to say there are now ells in the pond!! Hopefully they return the turtles 🐢 🙏 soon. The only restrooms are in the public pool, the BBQ facilities and children's playground is only a few hundred metres away. I was playing with my nieces and they needed to use the restrooms 🚻 we spoke to pool staff, they were friendly and helpful and let my young nieces use the restrooms 🚻 thank God 😊 for that​.

Great little park. There is an open air swimming pool in the middle for members, not sure of you can pay as you go. There was diving lessons also going on. The university of Sydney is also located at the top of the park.
