Victoria Park is an area of open space in Church End Finchley in North London. It covers 7 hectares. It is situated on Ballards Lane and is close to West Finchley tube station. It was opened in 1902 and was intended to mark Queen Victoria’s Diamond Jubilee and was the first public park of the former borough of Finchley.

It is popular among local office workers as well as the general population. The Finchley Carnival is held within Victoria Park every July, with theme park-type rides, a carnival procession, and a car show.

Within the park there are playgrounds, ornamental gardens, playing fields, a bowling club, for which membership is required, six public tennis courts, and a cafe, open seven days a week.
