Stoke Park is an electoral ward in Ipswich, Suffolk, England covering a predominantly residential area with a mix of Victorian terraces, post‑war housing and more recent developments. It includes local shops, schools and green spaces centred on the park that gives the ward its name, and sits within easy reach of the town centre and waterfront so many people commute into central Ipswich or nearby employment hubs.
Historically the neighbourhood grew from the old parish of Stoke and was shaped by Ipswich’s industrial and maritime expansion; traces of that past sit alongside ongoing regeneration projects and social housing initiatives. The population is socially mixed, supported by active community groups, sports clubs and small businesses, which gives the ward a local, community-focused feel while benefiting from the services and transport links of the wider town.
