Play and green space in central Newbury / NEWBURY
Victoria Park
Use Victoria Park as a proper break in the day, with space to play or sit between town-centre stops. It is particularly useful when some of the group would rather be outdoors than see another exhibition. You can choose the simple park visit without buying a round of golf or arranging another organised activity.

Before you go
Treat the splash park as a seasonal extra, not the reason for an unchecked journey. The council’s 2026 notice describes a season ending around mid-September; confirm operation for your actual day.
The practical details
- Where to find it
- Park Way, central Newbury RG14 1DJ
Directions and arrival information - Tickets and booking
- General park access and ordinary play are free. Adventure golf, tennis bookings, refreshments and some events have separate arrangements and should not be assumed to be included.
- Access and getting around
- The council lists accessible play equipment including a roundabout and seesaw. Check the park map and current toilet or Changing Places arrangements for your needs; equipment provision does not establish that every activity is suitable.
Official access information - Visiting with children
- Choose the relevant play area and leave time for a snack and toilet break. Bring a change of clothes if planning seasonal water play, but have a dry-play alternative if it is not operating.
Practical information checked 15 September 2026. Confirm anything essential to your visit with the venue.
