Victoria Parks and Recreation

Welcome to all the teams playing at the Youth Sports Complex this weekend! 👋 Due to expected high attendance, the City of Victoria Parks & Recreation is opening overflow parking near the Victoria Skatepark on Saturday and Sunday.

The overflow parking can be accessed by entering the Youth Sports Complex and proceeding in the direction of the skatepark. Please see the map for reference.

As a reminder, the regular Victoria Skatepark parking lot is currently closed due to construction at the Gary Moses Community Center.

We'll see you this weekend! 🥎⚾
