About

Woodhouse Park is a residential suburb in southwest Manchester, located near the M56 motorway and Manchester Airport. The area is characterised by a mix of post-war housing, including many semi-detached homes and some modern apartment developments. It functions primarily as a commuter area, with local shopping parades providing essential services. The presence of the airport and related business parks is a significant feature of the local economy, influencing employment and the area's character.

The ward contains several green spaces, including the expansive Nico Ditch, a medieval linear earthwork that runs through the area. This ancient boundary marker provides a distinctive historical feature within the suburban landscape. Community facilities are centred around the local library and community centre. Public transport links focus on bus services connecting residents to Wythenshawe town centre and the airport terminals, rather than a local railway station.
