Fallings Park is a suburb of Wolverhampton, West Midlands, and a ward of Wolverhampton City Council. It is situated in the northeast of the city, bordering South Staffordshire and the Wednesfield North, Heath Town, Bushbury South and Low Hill and Bushbury North wards. It forms part of the Wolverhampton North East constituency. Fallings Park ward covers over 5,000 properties in Longknowle, Newbolds, Scotlands, Underhill and Willows.
A 50-house model housing exhibition was erected by Wolverhampton Council at Fallings Park in 1908, but the planned housing estate was never completed due to the outbreak of World War I in 1914.[2]

A third pub, the Great Horse was situated on Prestwood Road, and attracted celebrities such as former footballers Sir Geoff Hurst and Alan Ball, as well as darts start Phil Taylor and boxer Joe Egan for charity events under former landlady, Sylvia Johnson, before closing in March 2009.[3]
