Victoria Park Renovations Completed |
|
London's historic Victoria Park has been restored to its former splendor following the completion of a £12 million, 16 month renovation project.
The project, funded by Tower Hamlets Council and The Heritage Lottery Fund was carried out by family-owned construction, civil engineering and property services firm Osborne, which involved full renovation of the park's facilities and grounds.
Work on the park included the construction of two large play areas with play equipment, water play features, and a Wheels Park for skateboarding and bikes as well as restoration on the Old English Garden and other landscaping work.

The park remained open throughout the renovation work, so the site team worked around staff, residents and the local wildlife, scheduling work around nesting season for the birds and working with English Heritage to obtain approvals for refurbishing listed structures.
Mayor of Tower Hamlets, Lutfur Rahman, said: "The refurbishment was a once in a life-time opportunity to bring a much loved park up to date and the multi million pound transformation will ensure the park continues to provide excellent facilities for years to come.
"I am proud of the investment which has been made as it really is the jewel in the crown for the borough."
