Frankleigh Park

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Frankleigh Park is a suburb of New Plymouth, in the western North Island of New Zealand. It is located to the south of the city centre ^[1]. The suburb is built around the site of early settler Henry King's farm, Woodleigh.

The suburb is one of the older and more established suburbs of the city, lying in the valley of the Huatoki River. It lies between the suburbs of Westown to the west, and Vogeltown to the east.

Some of the main streets include Shelter Grove, Veale Road, Frankley Road, Fernleigh Street, Govett Avenue, and Ashmore Drive. Frankleigh Park is home to two schools (Woodleigh School and Frankley School), a kindergarten and a shopping centre, and has two large parks, Sutherland Park and Ferndale Park.
