Victoria Park
Victoria Park is one of Truro's greatest assets - a natural woodland park of roughly 3,000 acres in the centre of our Town with an extensive trail system for all ages.
Update (Jan 2023) - The majority of Victoria park trails are open for recreational use. We continue to ask the public to follow all trail signage as we will close individual trails to remove fallen trees and repair infrastructure during the upcoming months/years.
Please be advised that some trails and stairs do not exist at this time and the Fairview entrance of “Lewis Road” to “Five Corners” will remain closed.
Thank you for your patience and cooperation!
