About Parkville

Parkville is an inner suburb about 3 km north of Melbourne's CBD at postcode 3052. It is defined largely by Royal Park, one of Melbourne's largest inner city parklands, which takes up most of the suburb's land area. The University of Melbourne occupies the south eastern portion, and the Melbourne Zoo sits within Royal Park on Elliott Avenue. The Melbourne Biomedical Precinct on Royal Parade is adjacent, making Parkville one of Australia's most significant medical research and education hubs. Residential areas are concentrated in the south around Flemington Road and the heritage listed streets near the university. Parkville is served by trams on Royal Parade and tram 19 connects it directly to the CBD. Royal Park Station on the Craigieburn and Upfield lines is also nearby. Despite the coverage, for hospital visits, airport transfers, or late night travel, taxis remain practical because of the suburb's spread across parkland and the university campus. Silver Taxi covers Parkville for airport transfers to Melbourne Airport and Avalon Airport, fares from $50 to $55. We also serve the hospital and university precinct for medical appointments and corporate travel. Call 0412 456 588 at any time.
