Victoria Park is a real hub at the heart of Paignton. I love the childrens play area in the summer. It has good play equipment with swings, climbing frames and roundabouts. When the open air cafe is open it is lovely to sit and watch the children with a drink and perhaps a snack. The women who run the cafe are really friendly and it is good value.
If you like trains you can watch the trains coming into Paignton Station and walk under the railway bridge if you want to head towards the beach.
Take some bread to feed the ducks but watch out for the seagulls.
The park is well kept with grassy areas, tennis courts and skateboard facilities. -

Really like this park, but I feel after all these years the council could spend more money on it. Nice lighting would make sense, allowing you to feel safer at night and keep out drug users and drunks as during the day kids use this place so safety is most important. The beach is the same in a lot of countries now they are flood lit so less dodgey people will be inclined to go there. Cameras never work as people believe they can't be seen, a bit like hiding under the bed sheets as a child..if I can't see you, you can't see me :) deter these people away from these areas once and for all!

A large park in the centre of Paignton. The park has football pitches marked out on the largest expanse of grass, it has tennies courts and basketball courts, a children's playground, a stream and a pond, all in the main part of the park. (The pond isn't huge, but it looked that way when I was a kid, and I know for a fact I'm not the only child who fell in and had to walk home squelching wet). Walk through to the back of the park under the railway line that bisects the park, and you enter a smaller, quieter sub park, with a stream and pond and an exit that leads to the sea front.
A far better way to get from the town to the beach than making your way through the flocks of tourists along Hyde Road and Torbay Road. -

victoria park is in the centre of paignton. it has a duck pond which is usually over run with seagulls. there is a play area for the children and as a parent you can chill and have a coffee whilst watching your little ones on the swings. i wouldnt recommend walking through there during the evening though. large groups of teenagers hang around there at night.
