About

Parkstone sits within the Bournemouth, Christchurch and Poole unitary area, split into Lower and Upper Parkstone. The neighbourhood is primarily residential, with Victorian terraces and interwar semi‑detached houses alongside more recent infill. Parkstone railway station provides regular local services on the line between Poole and Bournemouth, making rail the main commuter link for people working elsewhere in the conurbation. Parkstone Grammar School is one of the local secondary schools and serves families across the ward.

The local centre is focused along Ashley Road and the small triangular green at Ashley Cross, where independent shops, cafes and occasional markets cluster around the green. Community groups use the green and nearby halls for fairs and performances, and the street pattern preserves several long commercial frontages from the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Small parks and tree‑lined streets give the area a residential rhythm, and pedestrian routes connect the neighbourhood to nearby retail and transport nodes without relying on a car.
