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:

• Foley Park Halt, open between 1905 and 1970.
• Foley Park Sidings, serving the British Sugar Corporation and Smethwick Drop Forgings.
• Ground Frames at Foley Park, covering several ground frames related to the sidings and the BRBritish Rail or British Railways/SVRSevern Valley Railway boundary.
