Victorian park

Victorian parks refer to public green spaces developed during the Victorian era (1837-1901) in Britain. These parks were designed to provide urban populations with access to nature and leisure activities. Characterized by their picturesque landscaping, walking paths, ornamental gardens, and often featuring ponds, fountains, and sculptures, they reflected the cultural values of the time, emphasizing beauty, social interaction, and community well-being. Notable examples include Hyde Park in London and Bolton Park. Today, many Victorian parks serve as important recreational areas and historical sites, showcasing architectural and horticultural elements from that period.
