Victoria Park

Meerut, Uttar Pradesh, India
Victoria Park is a historic playground and public park that holds immense political and sports significance in India. It was originally named after Queen Victoria during the British era. In 1946, it hosted the last session of the Indian National Congress before independence, where the committee for making the Indian Constitution was formed. For sports lovers, this park is sacred; it is the training ground for many international cricketers like Bhuvneshwar Kumar and Praveen Kumar. The park houses the Kailash Prakash Stadium and several cricket academies. It is a massive open space used for political rallies, sporting events, and morning walks. During the 1857 Revolt, the soldiers who mutinied were reportedly held in a temporary jail located in this vicinity before being rescued. Today, it remains the most popular spot for aspiring athletes in Western Uttar Pradesh.
