About Kings Park

Kings Park is a suburban locality in Melbourne's north-west, located approximately 19 kilometres from the CBD within the City of Brimbank local government area. With a population of around 8,200 residents recorded at the 2021 census, it is a compact residential suburb covering about 2.5 square kilometres. The area was developed primarily from the 1970s and is named after the King family, whose farm once occupied the land. It has a culturally diverse community, reflecting the multicultural character of the broader Brimbank area.

Kings Park offers a quiet, family-oriented environment with access to local parks, primary schools, and community facilities. Residents are well-served by nearby shopping at the Watergardens Town Centre in Taylors Lakes and St Albans, both within a short drive. The suburb is predominantly made up of families and owner-occupiers, with a strong sense of community. Its proximity to Caroline Springs, Keilor Downs, and the Western Ring Road makes it a convenient base for commuters across Melbourne's western corridor.

Kings Park falls under postcode 3021 and is governed by Brimbank Council (LGA). For state elections, residents vote in the Kororoit (Western Metropolitan) electorate.
