Victory Park is a beautiful open space situated in the parish of Cainscross.
In July 2019 the Town Council completed a new build which houses the Council's Office, a new hall and sports changing rooms.
The park offers local residents numerous amenities including a well maintained children’s play area, a basket ball hoop, outside table tennis and dirt bike ramps along with thriving sports pavilions.
The sports pavilions at present are host to Cainscross RFC,Rodborough and Cainscross Old Boys, Cashes Green Football Club and Cotswold Rangers.
Situated on the edge of the park is Victory Park Bowls Club, originally formed in 1919. Although already having a strong membership they are always keen to hear from new members.

Peace Garden
The Peace Garden was created and opened in November 2016.
The Peace Garden offers amazing potential to be a meeting place for anyone in the community to meet together and have a conversation. Thank You to Barnwood Trust who sponsored the information board which gives an overview of the history. |

History of the Park
After the First World War Cainscross Parish Council launched a Peace Fund. Mr Frederick James Harper who lived in the parish of Cainscross recognised the need for a park, and he gave a generous donation of £200 prompting others to follow his lead, eventually raising £1000.
Four acres of land known as Derry Hay were obtained with Mr Harper donating a further two acres and Victory Park became a reality. In 1935 a further plot of land at the top of the park was also purchased.
