Victoria Park is a public park that is open to the public during daylight hours. It is often used as an entertainment venue for free concerts and the like.
The site was originally known as 'Dean's Bottom', in reference to the low lying, marshy tract of land first used as a recreational area by children attending a nearby school, established by Mr Alfred Dean. The parcel of land remained in a natural state until 1889, when a bandstand was brought in from Scotland and installed in the middle of the park, in commemoration of Queen Victoria's Golden Jubilee. In 2008-9 the bandstand was comprehensively restored.
The park also contains attractive flower gardens and several species of endemic plants and trees.
