About

Hampden Park ward lies in the northern part of Eastbourne, centred around a large, well-used recreation ground of the same name. The area is primarily residential, characterised by a mix of post-war housing estates, terraced homes, and modern developments. Its functional centre includes a local shopping precinct, several schools, and community facilities, serving the everyday needs of its residents. The ward is well-connected by major roads like the A22 and A27, providing key links to the town centre and beyond.

The landscape is defined by the expansive Hampden Park itself, a significant green space with sports pitches, a lake, and wooded areas. Adjacent to this is the distinctive Motcombe Gardens, a former chalk quarry transformed into a secluded, wooded park with a stream and waterfall. This network of green spaces provides a counterpoint to the built environment. The area also contains parts of the Eastbourne Park industrial estate, contributing to local employment.
