Victoria Park was opened in 1906 in the Connswater area of Belfast. Belfast Harbour Commissioners investigated the idea in 1854, however the land was very marshy and needed draining near Belfast Lough. It was landscaped by Charles McKimm, who also built the Tropical Ravine in Botanic Gardens.{{cite web | title=Victoria Park Belfast| work=Belfast City Council | url=http://www.belfastcity.gov.uk/parksandopenspaces/parks/victoriapark | access-date=2012-12-31}} Victoria Park contains a large lake.{{cite web | title=Victoria Park Belfast| work=Discover Northern Ireland | url=http://www.discovernorthernireland.com/Victoria-Park-Belfast-P3238| access-date=2012-12-31}}
