Park Road Area

Northern residential area with Havant Park, affordable housing, and a transitional character between the town centre and Leigh Park.

The Park Road area lies to the north of Havant town centre and includes the residential streets around Park Road, Prospect Lane and the approaches to Leigh Park. The area has a mixed character, with older housing closer to the town centre and more uniform mid-century development further north. Park Road itself is a residential street with a mix of semi-detached and terraced houses, many dating from the inter-war and immediate post-war periods. Havant Park, a small public green space, provides a breathing space amid the housing and includes a children's playground and open grass. The area serves as a transition zone between the town centre and the larger residential districts to the north. It is well connected to the town centre shops, the railway station and the bus routes that serve the northern part of the borough. The area's housing stock is among the most affordable in Havant, attracting first-time buyers and families. Community life centres on the park, the local schools and the neighbourhood connections that develop in long-established residential streets.
