The originally desolated area of park was planted with trees in 1930-1940.

In 1950, under the supervision of the Culture division of the executive committee of the City Council of Yerevan the culture and recreation zone was created around the memorial complex. In the same year the monument to Stalin was erected in the park which remained there until 1962. In 1967, the monument to Mother Armenia was erected on the same pedestal.
In the Victory Park are variety of attractions for children, number of cafes and a small but picturesque pond. Nice view of the capital of Armenia opens from here.
