Park Gate is a suburban ward in the borough of Fareham, in Hampshire, England, sitting just inland from the estuary of the River Hamble and close to the M27. It occupies a convenient spot between neighbouring settlements such as Locks Heath and Titchfield, with easy road links to Portsmouth and Southampton, which makes it popular with commuters while still offering access to the coastal and boating leisure of the Hamble estuary.
Historically the area expanded in the 19th and 20th centuries with local industry and market gardening before becoming a largely residential community; today it combines local shops, small businesses and community facilities with pockets of older housing and green recreational space. The ward has a family-oriented social scene with schools, clubs and pubs, and benefits from both a suburban feel and close access to riverside leisure and the wider economic centres of south Hampshire.
