When I saw that the original Victoria Park cache was archived because it had been destroyed, I had to make a new one. In honour of Mingan Patch, the original owner, and legmaker, who adopted it, I place this new one so that it can live on.
Victoria Park, named in honour of Queen Victoria, covers almost 50 acres of land. It is a part of a farm, called Fanning Bank, set aside by Governor Fanning in 1793, as a site to build a home and provide a place of leisure for the Governor. Government House was built there in 1834, and still dominates the site. It is one of the finest Government Houses in the country. In 1873 the larger area was declared a public park “…for the sole purpose of a park, promenade and pleasure ground for the use of its citizens…such things as circus shows, exhibitions of any kind are forbidden..
