West Park is a ward to the west of the centre of St. Helens in Merseyside, in the North West of England. It centres on a mix of Victorian terraces and post‑war housing clustered around the public green that gives the area its name, and developed during the 19th‑century expansion of coal, glass and chemical industries in the borough. The ward remains largely residential, with local shops, schools and small parks, and offers straightforward commuter links into Liverpool and Manchester.
Socially it is a mixed community with active local groups, community centres and amateur sports clubs, and recent years have seen modest regeneration and housing renewal. Proximity to green corridors and transport routes keeps the neighbourhood connected to the rest of the St. Helens borough while retaining a village‑like feel.
