Victory Road Park is a nine-acre park on Dorchester Bay just south of the peninsula known as Commercial Point where the Old Colony Yacht Club and the colorful gas tank are located.
Victory Road Park was created in the late 1980s from a former illegal landfill. Judge Jerome B. Troy of the Dorchester District Court had used the site as an illegal landfill for a planned marina. In 1973, he was disbarred as a layer and barred from serving as a judge, partly for his continuing to dump fill at the tidelands site after being ordered not to do so. He also used court officers as laborers at the site. Other reasons for his disbarment included issuing false statements and altering records.
