Foley Park is an area of Kidderminster through which the Kidderminster Loop Line runs, formerly home to a large sugar beet processing factory and associated sidings, owned by the British Sugar Corporation. After the cessation of BRBritish Rail or British Railways services between Bewdley and Kidderminster in 1970 and until the SVRSevern Valley Railway extension to Kidderminster Town Station in 1984, Foley Park served as the boundary between the SVRSevern Valley Railway and BRBritish Rail or British Railways. The name can refer to several railway-related features:

The area includes the site of a possible future station serving the Safari Park and developments of the Sugar works site, and mooted from time-to-time for an extension of mainline services.

It also includes the site of the proposed Wagon shed.
