Victoria Park is a historic Grade II listed public park located in the Canton district of Cardiff. Originally opened in 1897 to commemorate Queen Victoria's Diamond Jubilee, it retains much of its Victorian-era layout. The park features a splash pad and a dedicated playground area for children. It is home to a notable statue of Roald Dahl, who was baptized in the nearby Norwegian Church and grew up in the vicinity. Mature trees and ornamental flower beds provide significant greenery within an urban residential setting. The park is managed by Cardiff Council as part of the wider Outdoor Cardiff network.
