About

Coley Park sits in the borough of Reading in Berkshire, about a mile south‑west of the town centre. The neighbourhood is centred on Coley Park Road and Coley Avenue and is mainly residential, with terraces, semi‑detached houses and later council-built homes. A short parade of shops and a primary school meet everyday needs, while allotments and Coley Park recreation ground provide open space for sports and informal use. Street patterns and property types reflect development through the 20th century rather than a single building era.

Buses connect the area directly to Reading station and the town centre, following radial routes that also serve nearby shopping and employment hubs. The recreation ground’s playing fields are used by local football teams at weekends and include a brick pavilion beside the main pitch. Community activity centres on the park and local halls, with occasional markets, volunteer clear‑ups and youth sports. Housing fronts, public space and local facilities together give Coley Park its local character within Reading.
