Discover more about Victoria Park

Victoria Park is a cherished green space located in the Saint-Roch neighborhood of Québec City. Opened in 1897 and named in honor of Queen Victoria's 60th birthday, the park provides a peaceful escape for residents and tourists alike. The park's landscape features winding pathways, colorful flower beds, and a variety of sports facilities. Visitors can enjoy leisurely walks, picnics, and recreational activities such as soccer, volleyball, baseball, basketball, tennis, skateboarding, and hockey. A splash pad offers a refreshing escape during the summer months. Victoria Park also has historical significance. In the late 19th century, Mayor Simon-Napoléon Parent sought to create a green space for the working families of the Saint-Roch and Saint-Sauveur neighborhoods. The park, initially named Parc Parent, was later renamed to commemorate Queen Victoria's Diamond Jubilee. Over the years, it has served as a hub for community events and social interaction. Today, Victoria Park continues to be a beloved destination for those seeking tranquility and recreation in the heart of Québec City.
