A main carriage entrance to Victoria Park with four cast-iron corniced gate piers and a smaller gate at each side of the central one. The shafts of the gate pillars rest on bases and are surmounted by a cornice with dentils. The centre panel of the shaft of the outer pillars contain medallions of Queen Victoria, and above is a cushion on which rests a crown. On the inner pillars are the Burgh Arms, with the motto 'Industria Ditat' (Industry Enriches), and the cornices are surmounted by ornamental lamps. The famous architect Mr Leiper was consulted on the design for the Jubilee gate, but it is not known whether his design is the one used. The former gateway location was in Balshagray Avenue and it was originally widened to 80 feet to enhance the appearance of the entrance.
