About

Park ward occupies the central southern area of Blackpool, situated inland from the coastal tourist core. The district is primarily residential, characterised by a dense grid of terraced housing built to accommodate the town's seasonal workforce. Its urban landscape is functional, with local shops and services lining the main thoroughfares to meet everyday needs.

A defining characteristic is the presence of Blackpool Zoo, a major attraction located within the ward's boundaries at the eastern end of Stanley Park. This large green space, with its formal gardens and boating lake, provides a significant contrast to the surrounding streets. The area remains a settled residential community, directly connected to the town's practical infrastructure.
