Deer Park District, which incorporates the suburbs of Albanvale, Cairnlea, Deer Park and Derrimut, is home to some of the newest residential developments in Brimbank while also remaining true to its rich history.

Got a day to spare?

Start your day with a hit of golf at Sunshine Golf Club in Derrimut - play 18 holes or visit the driving range. For a more leisurely morning, grab some breakfast or brunch at the Deer Park Shopping Village and make your way over to the Hunt Club Community Arts Centre to check out the latest exhibition on show. Grab a quick bite to eat for lunch in Cairnlea or take a packed lunch to Kevin Flint Memorial Reserve on Furlong Road, Cairnlea, where the kids will enjoy feeding waterbirds from the jetties over the lake and playing on the terraced playground.

If you’re feeling active, get on your bike to explore the beauty of Kororoit Creek along the shared trail. There’s also a chance to discover some local history with a drive around to the various buildings and areas of historical and cultural significance, including the Black Powder Mill in Cairnlea or even the Mt Derrimut Homestead and farm buildings - part of the Sunshine Golf Club development.

For dinner, choose from places like Deer Park Hotel, Deer Park Club Bistro and various other popular local eateries.
