Victoria Park War Memorial
Highlight • Monument
There are a number of features within Victoria Park:
- A memorial honouring the local residents who died in World War I and World War II.
- A children's playpark with climbing frames and swings.
- A pond, with two small islands. The larger island is connected on both sides by iron bridges.
- A fully restored four-dial miniature lamp post clock, donated by William Gordon Oswald in 1888.
- The Jubilee Gates situated at the Victoria Park North Drive entrance were erected and funded by the 'Ladies of Partick' in 1887. They were manufactured by Macfarlane's Saracen foundry at a cost of £100. They bear the Partick Burgh coat of arms. In 1987 (the gates' centenary year) they underwent a restoration, and the gates have recently had another restoration to the original colours of red and gold.
- The Fossil Grove - During the park's construction in the late 19th century, when a pilot channel for the road was cut through a large area of rock, the builders discovered preserved fossilised tree trunks. The route for the road was then diverted and the sand and shale further excavated to reveal more fossils.
- Scotland's most northerly parakeet flock.
