Park (Wolverhampton ward)
Park ward is a ward of Wolverhampton City Council, West Midlands. It is located to the west of the city centre, and covers parts of the suburbs Bradmore, Compton, Finchfield, Merridale, Newbridge and Whitmore Reans. It borders the St Peter's, Graiseley, Merry Hill, Tettenhall Wightwick and Tettenhall Regis wards. It forms part of the Wolverhampton South West constituency.
Its name comes from the fact that two of the city's main parks, West Park and Bantock Park, lie within its boundaries. The ward also contains the Chapel Ash conservation area and also the Parkdale conservation area. Some other interesting architecture can be seen within the ward, particularly on the Tettenhall Road, such as first Mayor of Wolverhampton, George Thorneycroft's House. Two of the city's main thoroughfares are contained largely within the ward, namely the A41 Tettenhall Road and the Compton Road (A454. The Halfway House on Tettenhall Road was formerly a coaching house on the London to Holyhead route and as the name suggests, was the half way point. It was a pub for many years but is currently (2009) closed and for sale.

Reach out
For I cannot recall
Blurred nights, hands like ice
Spinning bathroom walls
And every soulless face
Seems to me a drowning fate
Cut slow they say
Think of a better way to count your hours
There's a problem with the sky tonight
And we've been wondering where you are
In seperate corners so that eyes can shine
And make a party out of every night
There's a problem with the sky tonight
And we've been wondering where you are
In seperate corners so that eyes can shine
And make a party out of every night
And don't talk
For every word turns cold
Jump back what your best at
Keep buying what I'm sold
And every sickened stare
Draws from me a steaming glare (steaming glare)
What words you say
Think of a better way to haunt your hours
There's a problem with the sky tonight
And we've been wondering where you are
In seperate corners so that eyes can shine
And make a party out of every night
There's a problem with the sky tonight
And we've been wondering where you are
In seperate corners so that eyes can shine
And make a party out of every night
Wake me up
For a never ending cycle scares me
Pull me up
This night I hate but keep repeating
Wake me up
For a never ending cycle scares me
Pull me up
This night I hate but keep repeating
There's a problem with the sky tonight
And we've been wondering where you are
In seperate corners so that eyes can shine
And make a party out of every night
There's a problem with the sky tonight
And we've been wondering where you are
In seperate corners so that eyes can shine
And make a party out of every night
Hear the sound of our own hearts breaking
Keep our thoughts as to what we're drinking
Fear the sound of our own lungs breathing
Keep our thoughts as to what we're drinking
