Could be so much more

Apr 2019

This place could be so much more. The city have failed to create a place of peace and safety. The park is littered with homeless people. The grounds are continually destroyed by trucks and food carts and festivles.

Walk fast

Apr 2020

We walked through Victoria park and were not impressed. After about one hundred yards we were approached by a panhandler who wanted money. Obviously for drugs. We just kept walking until we were approached by yet another wanting the same thing. We then left park and walked Dundas street. Even more scary.

Very well maintained park. The public washrooms are immaculately clean and supervised. There are a lot of homeless people around so they keep the park well supervised and under control. Nice little haven in the downtown core

Magical

Mar 2020

I can see the park the from my front window. It is a magnificent piece of property in the downtown. Great for jogging and picnics. Fantastic festivals all summer long. We use this park every day. I feel very blessed to have the opportunity to live so close to this jewel. Lets hope the city doesn't allow it to be enveloped by high rises.

London Christmas Lights

Dec 2021

Visited this park evening of Dec 16…extremely windy night. Lights were nice, thou only 75,000 lights so many of the trees were not lit up…just the main larger ones. They had Santa in a small house glassed off for kids to visit. There is a central skating rink which was not very well lit thus potentially dangerous. Overall would recommend for an evening stroll.

Cute skate

Feb 2020 • Family

Great little downtown park with a cute outdoor skating rink. The ice is fabulously maintained and looked perfect when I ran by. The perimeter of the park make a great 1km loop to add on or start your run.

Amazing Central Park in London - Amazing weekend summer festivals

Jun 2015 • Friends

So many festivals each weekend during the summer, from Sunfest to Pride London Festival and Ribfest. A festival for everyone! When there are no festivals, a great quiet place to relax or walk/jog through.

Comes alive during festivals

Aug 2018 • Family

It's nice to attend festivals in the park in the centre of the city. There is a skating rink in the winter and when Pokemon Go was a thing, it was overrun with Poke hunters. It is usually a pretty safe place to stroll the paths under the trees or eat your lunch at a picnic table. It is right across the street from Starbucks, Marcello's, Symposium, and the major churches in town. Pretty short walk to the theatre and shops.

Beautiful downtown park with many concerts and events.

Nov 2019

Victoria Park is located in the heart of London, and is a great natural beauty for the downtown core. It can be a great spot to walk and enjoy the outdoors, or sit and eat your lunch while enjoying nature. It also host many events such as Home County Folk Festival, Ribfest and my personal favourite, Sunfest! It is beautiful in all seasons, and has festive lights and a skating rink in the winter to celebrate the holidays. A wonderful venue in downtown London.

Great place to hang in the heart of the city

Dec 2018 • Couples

There are lots of coffee joints, dinner places and walking spaces in this area. The lighting of the lights before Christmas and there is always a festival going on in Victoria Park.
