About

Braunstone Park East sits in the south-west of Leicester, centred on Braunstone Park. The park contains Braunstone Hall, a lake and a range of playing fields; paths cross the site and are used for walking and team sport. The surrounding streets are mainly residential, with a mix of interwar semi-detached houses and later council-built terraces. Local provision includes primary schools, community centres and small parades of shops that meet everyday needs rather than draw visitors from across the city.

The park is a focus for local activity: informal games on the pitches, weekend walkers around the lake and occasional community events on the open grass. Wildlife such as ducks and other waterfowl make the lake a simple meeting point. Public transport links run along the main roads that edge the ward and provide straightforward journeys to Leicester city centre and nearby services, so the area functions as a primarily residential district with the park at its heart.
