Kingston Park South & Newbiggin Hall is an electoral ward on the northern edge of Newcastle upon Tyne, bringing together the suburban, largely private-housing area of Kingston Park with the older council-built estate of Newbiggin Hall. The ward is a mixed residential area with pockets of retail and light industrial activity, and it benefits from public transport links such as Kingston Park Metro station that make the city centre readily accessible.
Locally the area is known for its combination of green corridors and built amenities - a rugby stadium and leisure facilities sit alongside community centres and retail parks - and it has been the focus of regeneration and neighbourhood projects in recent years. Created under the ward boundary changes introduced in 2018, the area reflects a socially mixed population and the typical suburban fringe character of northern Newcastle upon Tyne.
