Foley Park Halt railway station was the first stop on the Great Western Railway’s Kidderminster to Bewdley loop, which is now part of the Severn Valley Railway. It was located in the Foley Park suburb of Kidderminster, where the line went under the A451 Stourport Road. The station had one wooden platform, a small ticket booth, and a Pagoda Platform Shelter.

History: Foley Park Halt opened in January 1905. It was originally south of the line, but in 1925 it was relocated to the north side to serve sidings for the British Sugar factory at Foley Park. The halt closed in 1970 when public services between Bewdley and Kidderminster ended. When Severn Valley Railway services started in 1984, Foley Park Halt was not reopened.
