Lea South Ward is a continuation of the urban area of Preston City and has services and recreational facilities similar to those found on the outskirts of most large cities. These include a golf course, sports ground, doctors surgery, two primary schools & two churches. There are several pubs and restaurants, good local bus services and several shops including a mini-supermarket are all features of the services within the area. The Millennium Canal runs through the parish and provides canal side walks and cycling facilities as part of the wild life corridor which runs along both sides of the canal. This development which opened up a waterway connection between the Lancaster Canal and the Ribble estuary is now well used by local residents and is a feature of the open space aspects of part of the Parish
