The ward was created for the elections held on 4 May 2023 following a 2022 review by the Local Government Boundary Commission for England, which decided that the previous 30 wards each represented by three Councillors should be replaced by 64 wards represented by 85 councillors with varying representation by one, two or three councillors per ward. The Greenbank Park ward was created as a single-member ward from most of the former Greenbank ward and a small portion of the former Mossley Hill ward.[1] The ward boundaries follow Ullet Road (excluding Holt House), Smithdown Road, the West Coast Mainline, Rose Lane, Elmswood Road, and Mossley Hill Drive.[1] The ward contains and is named for Greenbank Park, as well as the University of Liverpool's Greenbank Halls of Residence, Greenbank Synagogue, and Liverpool College.[citation needed]
