Victoria Park has always been a beautiful place to visit, and being open to the public year round you can't go wrong regardless of what season we are in. We visited a couple of weeks ago after a fresh snowfall, it was quiet and quite the sight covered in a blanket of snow. Though be careful, the trails aren't maintained during the winter season and it can be quite icy on the upper paths in comparison to the lower ones. *Parts of the trail have been damaged by a recent storm and are no longer accessible until they have been repaired. These sections are blocked off with signage and become obvious as you approach with massive pieces of the trail crumbling down the cliffside or the trail suddenly becoming blocked off by massive trees that have uprooted and toppled over onto one another.

A very large park with a reservoir in the middle. Lots of hiking and cycling trails. There are benches here to sit, but they are not as often as it would like. There are several interesting points, but by the time you get to them you will get tired, so this park is more about active recreation or just walking around to relax from the city. Overall, a very nice place... Both my wife and I agreed that we can endlessly make photos(me) and paint(she) pictures because it has a lot of interesting "small nature spots". Definitely worth a visit. We spent half a day in this park. And there is free parking at the entrance to the park.

i still enjoy coming here for a stroll through the woods whenever i pass through truro. the paths are soft crushed gravel, boardwalk and dirt. i would say this is definitely more of a walk than a hike since it is very well kept, and it doesn’t take too long to do the loop of the park. the view from up higher in the trees is peaceful and pretty! it is apparent that there is still significant damage to the trails caused by hurricane fiona, and there is still lots of work that needs to be done in repairing the railings, stairs and paths that were damaged! too bad, since the park is such a highlight of truro!

Victoria Park is gorgeous. Beautiful well kept walking paths and lawns. Lots of picnic tables for families or couples. Picnic on the grass in shade along the streams running alongside the walkway. There's a swimming pool. Pickle balls courts, play areas for kids, music bandstand, BBQ area is covered and with screens to keep out the bugs! Oh wait! There's many trails to choose from along with Jacobs Ladder! I dare ya to try it 😁
