Frankley Great Park

Frankley Great Park ward sits in the southwest of Birmingham, bordering the Worcestershire countryside. The area is defined by its large-scale modern housing development built on former green belt land, characterised by wide roads and substantial family homes. It is a primarily residential community with local shops and schools serving the neighbourhood, creating a self-contained suburban environment. The topography is notably hilly, offering elevated views across the surrounding landscape from many streets.

The ward's central feature is the actual Frankley Great Park, a large green space with woodlands and walking paths that provides a contrast to the newer construction. This parkland is a remnant of the historic estate that once covered the area. Community life here is relatively new, with facilities continuing to develop to meet the needs of the growing population. The area maintains a quiet, suburban atmosphere distinct from the denser urban centres of the city.
