Woodhouse Park is a ward in the south of Manchester, England, forming part of the large suburban district of Wythenshawe. It lies within easy reach of Manchester Airport and the M56, and is characterised by predominantly 20th‑century council housing, residential streets and nearby pockets of green space such as Wythenshawe Park.
Once largely rural until the interwar and postwar housing expansion, the area now has a mixed, multicultural population with local shops, schools and community centres at its heart. Like much of south Manchester it has seen economic challenges and targeted regeneration schemes over recent decades, while its transport links and proximity to the airport provide useful employment and connectivity for residents.
