Victory Park
Difficulty: Easy
Time: 10 min

Enter the park from East Green Street at the park sign. Take a stroll down the east sidewalk. Note the tennis courts to your right and the newly constructed playground to your left. Keep heading north down the path. You will see a narrow field with four raised bed gardens to your left. These gardens are used by neighborhood and community groups - feel free to stop by and see what is growing, but don’t pick. Follow the path to the blue benches just south of East Main Street and take a seat. You will find the letterbox where the name of the park is revealed. Search behind the rock to discover the weighed down box. You may get a bit dirty taking it out of its hole. This box contains two stamps so be sure to stamp them both! Please note: this letterbox is located in a very exposed area, please be discreet when removing and replacing this box.
