Parksyde is owned and operated by the Older Persons Charitable Trust and is the only one of its kind in the country.
We are not a retirement village or a day care centre for the elderly but simply an Event Centre providing activities for the 55+ age group. No membership is required; a small fee is charged for each activity, but no children please. We have a full commercial kitchen catering for lunches and functions which is also available for hire.
