Hanover Park is a neighborhood of the City of Cape Town in the Western Cape province of South Africa.
In February 1980 the neighborhood was the starting point of a national prolonged school boycott in protest of apartheid laws and policies.[2][3] Although Hanover Park is its own neighborhood separate from Philippi to its south it is situated within the Philippi police precinct area.[citation needed]
Hanover Park currently has a very high crime rate.[4]
