About Kings Park
Kings Park is a residential suburb in Melbourne's western suburbs, located approximately 18 kilometres from the CBD within the City of Brimbank. With a population of around 8,200, it covers 2.5 square kilometres and originated as a housing estate within the broader St Albans area. The suburb features predominantly detached houses on modest blocks, with newer developments adding townhouses and units. Kings Park has a multicultural character reflecting the diverse communities of Melbourne's west.
The suburb offers a quiet, family-oriented lifestyle with local parks, playgrounds, and community facilities. Kings Park Shopping Centre provides everyday conveniences, while larger retail options are available at nearby Watergardens Town Centre in Sydenham. The area is popular with young families and first-home buyers attracted by relatively affordable housing compared to inner Melbourne. Local schools include Kings Park Primary School, and the suburb benefits from proximity to the Western Ring Road for commuters heading to industrial and commercial hubs across Melbourne's west.
Kings Park falls under postcode 3021 and is governed by Brimbank Council (LGA). For state elections, residents vote in the Kororoit (Western Metropolitan) electorate.
