Memories of Victoria Park to thousands of
people scattered throughout the world, are of childhood days spent playing,
games and cricket, swimming, boats, sports days, feeding the ducks and animals,
of sunny days listening and dancing to the band, of fetes and exhibitions,
political rallies, and open air church meetings. Victoria park was never
officially opened it was taken over immediately by the local people. Never
had they seen such open spaces, beautiful trees and flowers. The pleasure
they received has been handed down through generations. The park today is
the legacy we have inherited, and is regarded with affection by all those
who are privileged to have such memories of Vicky Park.
