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.
