Kingsley Park & Racecourse

Kingsley Park & Racecourse sits within West Northamptonshire as a largely residential neighbourhood made up of mid‑20th century terraces, later infill and pockets of newer housing. Local provision includes a parade of shops, a primary school and a community centre, with playing fields and tree‑lined footpaths woven through the area. The street plan still shows the curve of the old racecourse, so several roads form a loose oval around a central green space used for informal sport and dog walking. Small allotment plots and pocket parks sit between housing blocks, giving short walking routes to green areas.

The area is served by frequent bus links into Northampton town centre and is within easy reach of Northampton railway station for regional travel. Local clubs use the pitches and halls for football, cricket and youth activities, and occasional community events take place on the larger open spaces. Day‑to‑day life here focuses on local services and outdoor space, with most residents able to access shops, schools and transport without leaving the neighbourhood.
