Cridge Park provides a half-hectare of valuable green space in downtown Victoria consisting of a lawn bowling green and treed area. The City of Victoria will upgrade Cridge Park this year to better meet the needs of the community. Based on recent input from the community, Parks staff have developed a draft plan to improve Cridge Park which they will present at a Public Meeting for feedback this month. Take this opportunity to participate in the planning process, review proposed improvements, ask questions, and provide feedback on the information presented.
