Park Street is a major shopping street in Bristol, England, linking the city centre to Clifton. It forms part of the A4018.[1]

The building of Park Street started in 1761 and it was Bristol's earliest example of uniformly stepped hillside terracing.[2] The street runs from College Green up a steep incline northwards to join Park Row near the eastern corner of the Clifton Triangle. Looking up the street there is a dramatic view of the Wills Memorial Building.

Along with nearby Brandon Hill and some neighbouring streets it forms the Park Street and Brandon Hill Conservation Area.[3]
