Parkside is a suburb of Timaru, in the Timaru District and Canterbury Region of New Zealand's South Island.
The suburb includes the Timaru Botanic Gardens, a garden reserve officially set aside in 1867. The garden started being planted in 1868 and was put under the care of a ranger in 1872.[3]
Timaru Hospital is located on the north-eastern corner of the Botanic Gardens. It is a public hospital operated by South Canterbury District Health Board, which provides medical, mental health, children's health, maternity and surgical services.[4]
The suburb has one designated park, Anzac Square.[5] It also has three smaller pockets of reserve land: Alexandra Square, Russell Square and Boer War Memorial Park.[6]
