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 name in Victoria), as well as the Yarra Valley Old Boys football club.
