The Parkes community directory features categories such as health and wellbeing services, disability and ageing support, child care, community clubs and halls, education and employment programs, environment and conservation, arts and creative activities, and sport.

Listings also include Aboriginal services, legal and advocacy support, crisis and emergency services, accommodation, transport, volunteering and welfare assistance, as well as recreational and self‑help groups.

Many programs are run by local organisations and service clubs within the Parkes, though some specialised health, disability or cultural services travel from nearby regional centres to support residents.

Parkes Region

Famous for its giant radio telescope known as The Dish and its annual Elvis Festival, the Parkes region is an agricultural hub with a quirky sense of fun. The telescope draws astronomers and curious travellers alike, while heritage trails reveal the area’s mining and pastoral past. The nearby Goobang National Park offers bushwalks through box and ironbark forests, and the Lachlan River runs quietly past farms and picnic spots. Locals cycle the Sculpture Down the Lachlan trail to discover artworks in unexpected paddocks and slip away to shaded lookouts in Goobang for a peaceful picnic.
