Friends of Victoria Park (Chelston)

For twelve years now, the Friends of Victoria Park (Chelston) have been working with Torbay Council  to enhance the park. In 2011, Stage 2 Playbuilder funding was secured for an Explorer Dome, Duo Swings and Basket Swing.

The equipment was chosen through several community consultation and fun events in the park in October 2009, April 2010 and September 2010.

The park also received two table tennis tables in 2011 that are proving popular.

In 2013, Torbay Mayor Gordon Oliver's fund awarded funding towards two picnic benches that were kindly fitted by Tor2.

We hope you enjoyed the 2014 to 2019 and 2023 fun days held in conjunction with Play Torbay.

The Friends are keen to collate old photographs and memories of the park, and would welcome new members, including those with an interest in Sherwell (Rocket) Park or Sherwell (Pretty) Park.
