This is Smethwick's main public park, developed on former farmland, and extending to about 34 acres. It opened in 1889, and was named Victoria Park to commemorate Queen Victoria's Golden Jubilee, which had been celebrated in 1887. In recent years a lot of money has been spent in regenerating it, and today it is a very pleasant place to visit. Image
