About

The area is centred around the historic Firth Park itself, a Victorian public park with formal gardens, a bowling green, and a large pond.

A notable local landmark is the former Firth Park Library, a distinctive Carnegie building that now serves as a community hub. The ward includes the grounds of the former Northern General Hospital, with significant ongoing redevelopment. Transport links are provided by main bus routes along Bellhouse Road and Barnsley Road, connecting to the city centre and surrounding districts.
