Parkville, Administrative district in Melbourne, Australia.
Parkville forms an inner-city suburb located 3 kilometers north of Melbourne Central Business District, combining residential areas with educational institutions.
The region transformed from agricultural land into a developed suburb following its designation in 1861, when Melbourne expanded during the 19th century.
The district preserves connections to the Wurundjeri people of the Kulin Nation, who maintained their presence in this region for thousands of years.
The area contains twelve tram routes, multiple bus services, and the Royal Park railway station on the Upfield line for city-wide transportation.
Royal Park spans 181 hectares within Parkville, incorporating sports facilities, wildlife areas, and the Melbourne Zoological Gardens.
