Bitterne Park

Bitterne Park ward lies on the east bank of the River Itchen, a residential area characterised by Victorian and Edwardian terraced houses. The streets are arranged on a gentle slope leading down to the river, with the main thoroughfare of Bitterne Park Road providing local shops and services. The area is largely residential, with several schools and green spaces integrated into its fabric.

A defining feature is the historic Cobden Bridge, which connects the area to the city centre. The ward includes the recreational ground of Peartree Green, an area of open grassland with views over the river. The residential layout is complemented by the presence of the Itchen Valley, which forms part of the ward's eastern boundary, contributing to its quiet, settled character.
