Victoria Park, Glasgow

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Victoria Park, Glasgow is a place located in Glasgow, Scotland.

The park is set in western Glasgow, adjacent to the districts of Partick, Whiteinch and Broomhill and features a fountain, a pond, sports pitches, gardens, and the Fossil Grove Museum.

The park hosted the Indian Summer festival in September 2006, featuring bands such as The Yeah Yeah Yeahs, Antony and the Johnsons, The Fall and 1990s.

During the summer there are free-access tennis courts near the main gate. The surface is concrete, and very uneven, so these are unsuitable for serious play.

The park is now home to the fledgling Scottish Australian Rules Football League clubs, the Glasgow Sharks and the Glasgow Redbacks and is understood to be the UK's only dedicated Australian Rules Football ground.
