Parkmore Shopping Centre is regional shopping centre in the suburb of Keysborough in the south-eastern suburbs in Melbourne, Victoria, Australia. It is approximately 35 kilometres south-east of the Melbourne CBD. The centre services the suburbs of the City of Greater Dandenong[3] such as Keysborough, Noble Park, and Springvale as well as other local suburbs. There are 129 stores at Parkmore along with 2,600 car parking spaces, 130 of which are located undercover.[2] The centre has had a few redevelopments over the years, the most recent completed in 2007, which extended the Safeway and built a new entrance allowing access to the food court.

- In 2011, a Community Kitchen Garden was installed on the rooftop carpark above Coles. It is hoped that shoppers will be able to 'celebrate the growth of fresh, seasonal produce.' Shoppers are allowed to take herbs and vegetables as they like, but are asked to respect the plants and 'not fully remove them'. The garden is open from 9am to 5pm daily.
- Every Tuesday morning at 7.30am there is a Parkmore Community Walk, where members of the community congregate in the centre to exercise.[6]
Other
Parkmore has also seen a crackdown on shoplifting in the past. Increased police numbers are implemented in the hope that shoplifting will be reduced. The crime was often committed by kids under 18 on school holidays.[7]
