Park Orchards is an eastern suburb of Melbourne, Victoria, Australia. Its Local Government Area is the City of Manningham. The suburb is home to the Park Orchards Tennis Club, Basketball Club, Netball Club and BMX club. The area is considered to be rather affluent with houses often selling for $1 million or above. The suburb is also home to the Domeney sporting facility, which hosts the home games of the Park Orchards Cricket Club and the Park Orchards North Ringwood Parish Sharks Junior Football Club (probably the longest sporting club acronynm in Victoria), as well as the Yarra Valley Old Boys football club. There are two local primary schools and a number of private and state secondary schools in close proximity.

Adjacent to Domeney is an area of natural bushland known as 'The 100 Acres'. It is home to a wide variety of local indigenous plants, birds and animals such as echidnas and sugar gliders.
