Westdene & Hove Park

Westdene & Hove Park is a residential ward situated on a gentle rise north of central Hove. The area is characterised by quiet, tree-lined streets and a mix of 1930s semi-detached and detached housing. Its boundaries are largely defined by the A27 to the north and the expansive grounds of Hove Park itself to the south, providing a distinct green edge. The local centre along Hangleton Way serves the community with essential shops and services.

The ward's dominant feature is the large, open Hove Park, which includes sports pitches, a bowling green, and a popular cafe. The parkland creates a sense of openness and is a focal point for recreation. A notable local landmark is the historic Dutch-style watermill, known as the Goldstone Pumping Station, which stands near the park's edge. The area maintains a settled, suburban atmosphere, removed from the busier coastal activity.
