Brimbank Park is part of an Aboriginal cultural landscape in the traditional Country of the Wurundjeri Peoples. Parks Victoria respects the deep and continuing connection that Wurundjeri Traditional Owners have to these lands and waters, and we recognise their ongoing role in caring for Country. 

The Brimbank Park playscape is a haven for creative play. Children and their families will be inspired to connect with nature as they play. The playscape is designed for children of all abilities to play, explore and socialise in the outdoors. Brimbank Park is also part of Parks Victoria's Autism Friendly Visits initiative. Visit the link to learn more about the social script resources that have been developed to show children what they may see and experience during a visit to the park. 

There are several picnic areas in Brimbank Park. Gas barbecues, shelters and picnic tables are available free of charge. If picnics aren't your style, stop by Lumbar & Co for your caffeine fix, a sweet treat or a delicious healthy lunch.  

Walk or cycle along the extensive network of trails. Take a long stroll around the park to observe its expansive size and incredible views. With over 10km of tracks in Brimbank Park and the Maribyrnong River Trail, you're bound to find a walk that's right for you.  

Those looking for a bit of a challenge will find the Maribyrnong River Trail. This 25km trail is truly breathtaking. The tree-lined river path meanders along the Maribyrnong River all the way to Footscray. 

In parts of the park, native grasslands sweep across open plains, down through rocky outcrop escarpments to majestic River Red Gums lining the Maribyrnong River. These natural areas are home to a host of local wildlife. 

See if you can spot birds including parrots, galahs, large wetland birds and birds of prey. Brushtail and ringtail possums live in the large River Red Gums. Wallabies and bats are known to frequent the area, as well as different species of reptiles.
