Victory Park

Neighborhood Setting

Victory Park is a community park located in the Victory neighborhood of Minneapolis, Minnesota. The park is situated adjacent to Victory Memorial Drive, which forms part of the Grand Rounds Scenic Byway system.

The park serves as a local recreational space for residents and visitors alike.

Historical Connection

The park's history is closely tied to the adjacent Victory Memorial Drive, which was dedicated in 1921 as a memorial to Hennepin County service members who died in World War I.

While the park itself is separate from the memorial drive, it benefits from the proximity to this historic parkway.

Recent Improvements

In recent years, Victory Park has undergone improvements to enhance its facilities and appeal. The Minneapolis Park and Recreation Board has been working on a project to install a new splash pad in the park, along with other amenities.

This project, which was in the planning and development stages as of 2023, aims to increase the usability of the park, especially for children and families in the neighborhood.

Community Use

The park provides open green spaces for various activities and serves as a gathering place for community events.

Its location near Loring Elementary School makes it a popular spot for students and families before and after school hours.
