Park Place Hall is a student dormitory located at 187-189 Allen Place in the North Campus area.

The dormitory, which is a converted apartment house, was formerly known as Allen West. The College purchased the property along with the adjacent building, which later was named Boardwalk Hall, in 1957 for $65,000. It was originally used for faculty housing and then later converted to student living spaces.

In 1982, in an effort to name the “nameless” dorms on Trinity's campus, a committee, with student and administrative input, voted to name the dormitory Park Place Hall.

In 2019, Park Place and Boardwalk Hall closed for extensive repairs and renovations totaling over $2 million. Extensive interior upgrades were needed. The dorms had earlier received exterior renovation upgrades in 2012.
