Parkville, Administrative district in Melbourne, Australia.
Parkville is an inner-city suburb north of Melbourne, characterized by residential streets interspersed with major universities and medical research centers. The area mixes housing with green spaces and benefits from good public transport connections throughout the locality.
The area was originally farmland before urbanization began in 1861 as Melbourne expanded northward. This transformation led to the establishment of educational and medical institutions that define the neighborhood today.
The locality takes its name from an early settler and today carries a strong student character shaped by the nearby universities and research institutions. You see young people throughout the streets, and cafes and libraries serve as regular gathering places for study and conversation.
Trams, buses, and Royal Park railway station provide direct connections to the city center and other parts of Melbourne. Walking through residential streets or taking short tram rides between major destinations is the best way to explore the suburb.
Australia's wildlife and international animals are on display at the Melbourne Zoo within Royal Park, where you can see native species in landscaped settings. The large park itself was once private land before being opened to the public.
