​The "Everyone On Wheels" Rides: These sessions run fortnightly at Victoria Park. They provide a fantastic collection of specially adapted cycles (including trikes, handcycles, and wheelchair-accessible bikes) designed for individuals with disabilities, health conditions, or those who need extra stability. ​How it works: Participants can use the adapted bikes in a safe, controlled environment directly on the flat, smooth pathways around the park, supported by qualified ride leaders and mechanics. ​Booking: To view their exact upcoming schedule and reserve an adapted bike, they use the mobile booking app Spond (you can find their group updates via the St Helens Pedal Power Facebook page).

Decent little park. Baby park and around the corner is an older kids park with a skatepark too. Pond for feeding ducks and some history to read always a nice little stroll with the baby. Started to have events on too which is great as it's just around the corner.

I like Victoria Park - shame there doesn’t appear to be any toilets here which lets it down. Been here a few times with the kids - it’s flat enough for wheel chairs and scooter too which is a bonus. The park needs some attention as some of the items had damage on and some missing. But all in all a lovely park
