Valley Park

Valley Park sits within the Test Valley borough of Hampshire, England, and is primarily a residential area laid out in the latter part of the 20th century. The neighbourhood is organised around a handful of local shopping parades, a primary school and a community centre that doubles as the meeting place for the parish council. Streets link into a network of footpaths and cycleways that connect housing areas with sports pitches and small play spaces, giving the area a clear pattern of neighbourhood clusters rather than a single centre.

Away from roads, a linear series of engineered ponds and wetland strips runs through the lower ground and helps manage surface water while providing informal habitat for ducks and other waterbirds; these features are a regular destination for short walks. Local volunteer groups and the parish council maintain small green spaces and a community noticeboard that records events, planning updates and practical information about bin collections, schools and transport links within Valley Park.
