Victoria On The River

One of my absolute favourite spots in Hamilton! Such an awesome space to sit and read, have your coffee, listen to music, or just chill.

What a stunning public space in the middle of the cbd, with access to the river walks and plenty of seating space to chill and take a break or eat your lunch. Looks even more amazing at night lighted up. Hcc needs to grab hold of this and run with it, build on it and make the river a part of a city.

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.

Very pretty and why not grab a coffee at the near buy cafe.

Such an awesome spot to chill with some food from nearby eateries, and if there is some music on a fantastic show while the sun sets

Victoria on the River is an expansive amphitheatre-style park on Victoria St, in the heart of Hamilton’s central business district.Offering fantastic views of the Waikato River and connections to the city’s popular river path network - popular with cyclists, walkers and runners - Victoria on the River (VOTR for short) formally opened on 25 January 2018.VOTR is a major project as part of the Council's Central City Transformation Plan.Hamilton City Council purchased the 4769p sqm site – previously occupied by the Waikato Times - in 2009, and committed the funding to VOTR in late 2015. Construction began in April 2017 after more than 6300 cubic metres of contaminated material was removed from the site.More than 9000 plants give it a green and organic feel and blend with adjacent Waikato River natural landscapes.

A nice place to relax in the sun, by the river !!

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.

Fantastic place to hang out during your lunch break or just somewhere to chill.Awesome layout/design, feels like an inclusive place for the inner city.

A beautiful sunny space overlooking the mighty Waikato River......great place for drinking our takeaway coffees
