Parkstown is a townland in County Tipperary in Ireland. Occupying 624 acres, it is located in the civil parish of Ballymoreen[1] in the barony of Eliogarty in the poor law union of Thurles.
Its name in Irish, Baile na Páirce, was, in mid-20th century, used as the official Irish name of the village of Horse and Jockey, the northern half of which is built on the townland, at its south-western corner;[2] it appeared on official road-signs and was the name used in the postmark at the post office in the village.[3]
