About

Hengrove and Whitchurch Park is a residential ward in the southern suburbs of Bristol. It is primarily characterised by post-war housing estates, including the large Hengrove Park development, alongside older pockets of pre-1930s homes. The area is bounded by the A37 Wells Road to the east and includes the open grounds of the former Hengrove Hospital site. Local amenities are focused around community hubs like the Hengrove Park Leisure Centre and the Whitchurch Library.

The ward contains significant green spaces, most notably the expansive Hengrove Park itself, which features sports pitches, play areas, and a war memorial. The northern edge is marked by the Novers Hill area, with its mix of industrial units and housing. A key local feature is the presence of the Bristol and Bath Railway Path, which skirts the ward's eastern boundary, providing a traffic-free route for cyclists and pedestrians into the city.
