This is a park in the middle of Victoria street that looks over the river. Nice place to come for a takeaway coffee or lunch with a great view over the river. There’s a Vietnamese restaurant and also me pickles looks over the park, although seems an empty space on the other side where the hair clinic is, they should consider putting a cafe or something similar there. Nice place to chill, but not really for the kids, more and adult space.

Victoria on the River is Hamilton’s amphitheatre-style civic park on Victoria Street, reopened in 2018 after a $6.5m rebuild by Hamilton City Council and Edwards White Architects. The terraced design steps down 28m from the main street to the Waikato River with more than 9,000 plants, wide boardwalks and outdoor seating, doubling as a venue for small acoustic performances and a key link onto the city river path network. There is no traditional playground but the steps, boardwalks and lawns are popular as a family-friendly informal play space.

Ramps, stairs and terraces with seats and benches are cascading down to the river foot path creating a unique transition from Victoria Street to the river. A beautiful link between the city and the Mighty Waikato. With coffee shops in sight there's no better place to take a break.
