Park Village is characterised by its
Victorian, mainly terraced, housing. There was an even larger amount of such housing in the area until about 1970, when a significant amount of it was demolished and replaced by flats and maisonettes. This new development is known locally as New Park Village. A large park exists, called 'Fowler's Park'. It is accessible from Prole Street and Nine Elms Lane, as well as adjacent areas
Low Hill,
Bushbury and Fox's Lane leading out to Five Ways Island on the
A449 Stafford Road. The
Smestow Brook, rising in nearby Springfields, runs through the park before being culverted at the far end. The park features a large pond, skate park and several football pitches. A well mentioned as one of Wolverhampton's original boundary markers in the 985 Charter granted to
Lady Wulfrun, is thought to exist in the park near the Smestow Brook culvert entrance. ==References==
