Victoria Park

Victoria Park Swinton’s Park Opened 1897 Opened in 1897 Victoria Park forms Swinton’s premier public park. It was named after Queen Victoria to celebrate the 60th year of her reign. It is home to a Grade II listed bandstand. The park stands in the grounds of the rebuilt Swinton ‘Old’ Hall, was built between 1859-1862. The hall was purchased by the town council and served as its offices. The first meeting was held in 1896. It was renamed Victoria House and served with distinction as offices and a clinic until it was demolished in 1993. The land where the house stood became a nursing home. The park remains a Swinton highlight today.
