Birkdale is a suburb of the contiguous Auckland metropolitan area located in New Zealand. Originally called Parkview, comprising the area from Balmain Rd to the Birkdale (now Beach Haven) wharf, it was renamed Birkdale at a meeting of the Birkenhead Borough Council in 1889, after the suburb of Birkenhead in England of the same name. It now comprises statistical area units such as 'Birkdale North' and 'Birkdale South'. The suburb is located in the North Shore, and is under the governance of Auckland Council.
