Park Gate
Welcome to Park Gate!
Sitting adjacent to Locks Heath, Park Gate is known for its use as a distribution hub for strawberries grown within the area in the late 19th and early 20th centuries.
Originally developed around Swanwick train station, Park Gate has grown into a thriving residential community, where you can find plenty to do and a shopping area filled with great shops and food outlets, like Kards and Keepsakes and the Cork and Cheese.
With so much going on, it’s no wonder Park Gate makes up one of our magnificent seven! So, why not pop over to check it out?
