Royal Victoria Park - Bath

Toilets (suitable for the disabled), refreshments and band stand.

The park was formed in 1829 and formally opened in 1830. It was named after the then 11 year old Princess Victoria, (the first ever park to carry her name) visiting Bath at the time. It was privately run until 1921 when it was taken over by the Bath Corporation. Overlooked by the Royal Crescent, its 57 acres were originally laid out as an arboretum, and even today contains a superb collection of trees. Added to these are some fine ornaments, beautiful bedding displays, bowling gree, tennis courts, putting gree, boating pond and 12 and 18 hole approach golf courses. It also contains the beautiful Botannical Gardens, a bird aviary and a unique and incredibly popular children's play area laid out to emualte the city itself. All of these combine to make the park one of the most popular parts of Bath.
