About

Park Street ward lies on the southern edge of St Albans, bordering Hertfordshire's countryside. The area is primarily residential, with a mix of housing developments and older properties. Its centre is focused along the A405 road, which provides a main route through the locality. The ward includes the nearby settlement of Frogmore, adding to its residential character. Large areas of open space and playing fields are integrated within the community layout.

The district is served by Park Street railway station, offering direct links to central London. Local facilities include shops, schools, and community centres catering to everyday needs. The presence of the River Ver corridor provides a natural green space for walking and wildlife. Historically, the area was known for brickmaking, using local clay deposits. This past industry has given way to modern housing, though some historical features remain within the street scene.
