PARKSIDE, DELAWARE COUNTY, PENNSYLVANIA (PA) For those of you who do not know of Parkside, welcome to this little Borough hidden inside the Brookhaven zip code 19015. I did not become aware of this little community until I got involved in real estate and then low and behold I started to hear about people who grew up in Parkside and still have relatives living there....You know how that works.
Parkside, I imagine was named for the fact that it sits very close to Chester Park (please correct me if I am wrong). There is another stretch of park area that can be accessed off of Park Vallei Road. A trail through the woods from that area will take you to Ridley Creek.
The Parkside Elementary School was opened roughly 5 years ago and the old school was recently torn down
giving the community a green space for the school children and for our eyes to enjoy.
Within the Borough's limits you will find a firehouse, a dance studio, a donut shop, a few good eateries, a few car repair shops, a gas station, a few hair salons, a barber shop, a dry cleaner/alteration shop, a church and a few more businesses along with all the 800+ domiciles.
