Parks and Gardens

Victoria Park

Victoria Park spans eight acres and was a gift to the people of Ilkeston from the Duke of Rutland to commemorate the 60th Anniversary of Queen Victoria’s accession in 1897.

Like many Victorian parks, it has a wealth of trees, all of which can be admired by following the park's tree trail. Colourful floral displays are also pleasing on the eye and can be seem from the main road.

The band stand, bowling green and children's play area are also fantastic features.
