Brimbank Park

Brimbank Park is a large metropolitan park on the Maribyrnong River in Keilor East, within the City of Brimbank, Victoria. Managed by Parks Victoria, it covers 328 hectares of river valley, wetlands and open grasslands. Notable for its extensive walking and cycling trails, picnic areas, playgrounds and birdlife, it is one of north-west Melbourne's most visited natural parklands and a key section of the Maribyrnong River Trail.

Visitors can expect a spacious river valley parkland with the Maribyrnong River winding through open grasslands, wetlands and remnant River Red Gum woodland. The park offers sealed and unsealed walking and cycling trails, large picnic areas with shelters and barbecues, a nature-inspired playground, bird hides overlooking wetlands, and a visitor centre with cafe. The setting is natural and open, suitable for walking, cycling, picnicking and wildlife observation.

The park lies on the traditional Country of the Wurundjeri Woi-wurrung people of the Kulin Nation. The Maribyrnong River valley was used for farming from the 19th century. The area was reserved as parkland in the 1970s and developed by the Melbourne and Metropolitan Board of Works, opening as Brimbank Park in 1976 to provide open space for Melbourne's western suburbs and to protect the river corridor.

The park is on Wurundjeri Woi-wurrung Country and retains cultural significance for Aboriginal people. It serves as a major community recreation and environmental education site for Melbourne's west, with wetlands and revegetation areas highlighting the natural values of the Maribyrnong River valley.
