About Park Ward
Park is one of Cheltenham's 20 electoral wards, on the south-western side of the town. It covers 1.14 square kilometres and 229 postcodes, and borders College, Lansdown, Leckhampton, and Warden Hill.
Whether you are thinking of moving to Park, already live here, or just want to know what is nearby, this page pulls the ward's figures together in one place: how much crime is reported and what kind, what homes sell for, how fast the broadband is, and where to find the nearest GP, dentist, optician, school, park, play area and public toilet. Places inside the ward are marked as such, and where the ward has fewer than three of something the nearest ones just over its boundary, within three miles, are listed alongside.
Comparing areas? The Cheltenham wards page puts all 20 wards on one map and one table. For the whole town, see our pages on crime data, house prices, GPs and pharmacies, dentists and opticians.

Frequently Asked Questions
Where Does the Park Data Come From?
- Crime is street-level data from data.police.uk. House prices are HM Land Registry Price Paid data. Election results and councillors are from Cheltenham Borough Council. Broadband is from Ofcom's Connected Nations, and ward boundaries are from the Office for National Statistics. Everything else comes from the same open datasets behind the rest of this site, such as the NHS, the Food Standards Agency, Historic England and OpenStreetMap, sorted into the ward by location.
How Accurate Is the Ward Boundary?
- The boundary is a simplified version of the official ward outline, so a place right on the edge of the ward may be counted on either side. Where a service sits just outside the boundary it is listed as nearby, with its distance from the middle of the ward.
Does the Crime Count Show How Safe the Ward Is?
- Not on its own. The figures are reports recorded by the police, they don't allow for the number of people living in or passing through the ward, and police record crimes against the nearest street point rather than the exact location. Use them to compare one year with another and one type of crime with another.
