Victoria
Park
is
just
1.8
miles
from
the
centre
of
Cardiff
(the
Castle).
It
is
easily
accessible
by
bus,
train
or
car.
The
bus
stops
near
to
the
entrance
and
there
is
plenty
of
parking
in
the
streets
surrounding
the
park.
However,
during
the
summer
months
the
park
gets
very
busy,
so
you
may
need
to
park
further
away
or
consider
taking
public
transport.
The
large
park
has
lots
of
facilities
including
a
playground
for
children
of
all
ages.
Within
the
playground
there
is
a
zip
wire,
various
climbing
frames,
slides
and
round
abouts.
There
is
also
a
bandstand,
tennis
courts,
basketball
courts
and
a
beach
volleyball
area.
In
the
centre
of
the
park
there
is
a
secure
free
splash
pool
with
2
attendants.
The
splash
pool
is
very
popular
so
visiting
time
is
limited
to
25
minutes
per
child.
Within
the
park
there
are
pretty
flower
beds,
large
trees,
Ethan's
Dragon
sculpture
and
lots
of
green
space
for
ball
games.
This
is
an
ideal
location
for
a
picnic,
and
there
is
an
ice-cream
kiosk,
the
Bloc
coffee
shop
and
Mamas
Place
Cafe
to
buy
reasonably
priced
chips,
hot
drinks
and
snacks.
Outside
of
the
park
there
is
the
Pettigrew
Bakery
and
lots
of
restaurants
including
Red
Chill,
Nook,
Maasis,
Nishirath
kitchen,
Han
Sing
fish
and
chips,
the
Dough
Thrower,
Pasta
Pronto
and
so
on.
We
would
recommend
a
visit
because
the
park
is
very
clean,
is
fantastic
for
everyone
and
is
a
cheap
day
out.
