The Victoria Park is an ornate public park named after Queen Victoria to commemorate her 60th Jubilee Coronation in 1897. A great place to get away from the busy city life thereby enjoying the surrounding misty views with clean mountain air. The park was originally consumed as a research field of Hakgala Botanical Gardens. Spanning over 27 acres, the park has many species of trees of which most are foreign adding distinct beauty to the landscape. It is a great destination for bird watching since the serenity of the place gives pleasurable opportunity to observe numerous rare birds such as Indian Pitta, the Kashmir Flyer and the Indian Blue Robin. With ample space for children to run around and play, the park is an ideal area for families to spend time at leisure. The park gets colour coming alive with the blossoming of flowers during the seasonal month of April.
