Parklands United was first formed as North Beach Soccer Club in 1967.[1] It was initially formed with the goal of playing social Sunday soccer against hotels and business houses in and around Christchurch.

It attracted a large number of players from the Parklands/Queenspark and New Brighton area and went on to grow and develop into a large size club by the mid-1990s, when the club changed its name to Parklands United in 1996. It was then that the clubhouse moved to its present location in Queenspark, Parklands, Christchurch, New Zealand.
