Hyde Park is a suburb of Townsville, Australia. It is located north of Mysterton, west of Hermit Park, east of Pimlico, and south of West End, and its postcode is 4812. As part of the development of Townsville, sugar plantations were established at Hyde Park in 1866. In 1918, Hyde Park was transferred from the Thuringowa Shire to the City of Townsville by a ballot. Most of the street names (and the suburb's name itself) come from London streets and suburbs - for example, Oxford Street, Bayswater Road and Park Lane.
