Green Park is a recently developed suburb of the town of Reading in the English county of Berkshire. Initially conceived as a business park, it now also encompasses a residential development of more than 1,300 new homes, including apartment blocks and "New-England" style houses. There are also shops, restaurants, a school and a new railway station. The Madejski Stadium, home of Reading Football Club, adjoins Green Park to the east.

Green Park is bounded by the M4 motorway to the south, the Madejski Stadium and the A33 road to the east, the floodplain of the River Kennet to the north, and the Reading to Basingstoke railway line to the west. From a local government perspective it is largely located within the borough of Reading, but parts lie within the civil parish of Shinfield, in the borough of Wokingham, and the civil parish of Burghfield, in West Berkshire. However the residential components are all within Whitley ward of the borough of Reading.[1][2]
