Interior and exterior finishes were updated, and environmentalist and designer Aniko Meszaros was commissioned to create a permanent art installation, entitled Roots.
In November 2021, the city government announced that an agreement had been reached with a developer to build over 500 new homes on the existing 173-space commuter parking lot at the station.
[5] Upon opening in 1968, Victoria Park station's interiors continued on the Bloor–Danforth subway line's design theme of practical simplicity with minimal creative flourishes and no public art.
The original signage uses the Toronto Subway Font, with the station name sandblasted onto the walls in large type and painted in the same colour as the strip of black tiles by the ceiling.
The flooring is the same basic pattern of terrazzo that appears at most Bloor–Danforth line stations: repeating grey squares separated by strips of aluminum.
Victoria Park station consists of a concourse at grade where fare control takes place, elevated platforms for subway trains, and a large outdoor bus transfer area.
Where the circular holes are cut deeper through the canopy, they are clad with stainless steel inside and contain artwork by designer and environmentalist Aniko Meszaros, as part of her installation entitled, Roots.
Meszaros' artwork in this part of the station consists of intricate stainless steel screens akin to filigree with an organic, root-like design.
The 2008–2011 renovation introduced the station's prominent glazed entrance on Victoria Park Avenue, which was previously a windowless brick and concrete wall.
In addition to the intricate metal screens in the bus transfer area canopy, Aniko Meszaros designed several other works of art that were integrated into the station in the renovation as part the Roots installation.
At platform level, the walls are adorned with a work in which the word "community" is written in different languages over images of the globe depicted as a system of roots.
The stark, unadorned brick towers of the Crescent Town neighbourhood stand to the northwest of the station and are connected by an enclosed pedestrian walkway, which is elevated over Victoria Park Avenue.
