Westminster Park

Westminster Park

Westminster Park (colloquially known as Wezzie Park) is both a suburb to the west of Chester, and a large park the area takes its name after. Chester residents do not consider the area as a part of the Lache (an adjacent suburb comprised largely of council housing) although the main route through Westminster Park is Lache Lane. In any case it can sometimes be difficult to tell where one suburb ends and another begins.

The park contains a nine hole golf course, municipal and private tennis courts, bowling greens, a cricket pitch, football pitches, a croquet pitch and a children's play area.

There is a shopping complex in Westminster Park. Some of the shops are a Co-op (supermarket), a delicatessen, two hairdressers, a Chinese takeaway, a fish and chip shop, a pharmacy, a greengrocer, a florist and a Threshers wine shop.

Westminster Park also has its own gymnasium which is part of the Dragon's Health Club group. The sports complex is based next to Westminster Park Tennis Club and The Nuffield Hospital.

Just to the south is Chester Business Park, a large, out-of-town office complex for, among others, MBNA and M&S Money.
