An industrial park is an area zoned and planned for the purpose of industrial development. In Hong Kong, industrial parks are usually known as industrial estates. In the United Kingdom small industrial parks containing multiple units all of the same style are known as trading estates. A more "lightweight" version is the business park or office park, which has offices and light industry, rather than heavy industry.

Famous quotes containing the words industrial and/or park:
“In an industrial society which confuses work and productivity, the necessity of producing has always been an enemy of the desire to create.”
—Raoul Vaneigem (b. 1934)
“Linnæus, setting out for Lapland, surveys his “comb” and “spare shirt,” “leathern breeches” and “gauze cap to keep off gnats,” with as much complacency as Bonaparte a park of artillery for the Russian campaign. The quiet bravery of the man is admirable.”
