Correction (5 October 2026): an earlier version of this page listed places and details we could not stand behind. It has been rewritten from scratch: every place below was confirmed at two independent sources on 5 October 2026.
This page covers parks in and around Deer Park, and all six of them are in Cairnlea, the neighbouring suburb. None of them has a Deer Park address, so we have put the suburb in each heading and have not called any of them a Deer Park park. The same council page also describes a flagship park in Deer Park itself, Isabella Williams Memorial Reserve at 151 Neale Road, but we found no second source for it, so it has no entry below. The same council page also lists a flagship park in Deer Park itself, Isabella Williams Memorial Reserve, which it gives as 151 Neale Road, but we found no second source for it, so it has no entry below.
The council’s description is the only detailed one we found. Brimbank City Council lists the features of Kevin Flint Memorial Reserve and the exercise stations at Waterfield Park. For the other four, the council page names the park and nothing else, so we claim no playground, no toilets and no barbecue for them, and each entry says what is unknown.
The quick picks
| If you’re after | Head to | Where |

| A neighbourhood park on the council’s list | Moorland Park | Cairnlea (council prints no street number) |
| A paddock-named reserve on the council’s list | O’Connors Paddock | Cairnlea (council prints no street number) |
| A reserve on the council’s list | Station Waters Reserve | Cairnlea (council prints no street number) |
| Outdoor exercise stations | Waterfield Park | 2A Waterview Drive, Cairnlea |
| Another reserve on the council’s list | Stockton Run Reserve | Cairnlea (council prints no street number) |
Kevin Flint Memorial Reserve — 142A Furlong Road, Cairnlea VIC 3023
Brimbank City Council lists Kevin Flint Memorial Reserve under its “Flagship parks” and gives the features as “lake setting with shelters, a playground, BBQ, seating and public toilets.” That is the fullest feature list of the six, and it is the reason the reserve leads this page. OpenStreetMap tags the site as a park.
The council also includes the reserve in its off-leash dog parks table, so if you are bringing a dog, read that table and the signs on site before you let the lead go.
Water and toilets: the council’s feature line lists public toilets, and the line does not mention drinking water, so bring your own.
Moorland Park — Cairnlea VIC 3023 (council prints no street number)
Brimbank City Council lists “Moorland Park, Cairnlea” among its neighbourhood parks around Deer Park, and OpenStreetMap tags it as a park. The council page states no features, so we are not claiming any, and it prints no street number, so we cannot give you a street address.
That leaves the name as the thing to search for. Check the council page before you go if a particular facility matters to your visit.
Start at: no station, stop or car park is named on the pages we read, so use the park’s name in a maps app.
O’Connors Paddock — Cairnlea VIC 3023 (council prints no street number)
OpenStreetMap tags this one as a park under the name O’Connors Paddock. The council lists it as “O’Connor’s Paddock Reserve, Cairnlea”, with an apostrophe and the word Reserve, and prints no street number. If a map search for one spelling comes up empty, try the other.
No features are stated on the council page, so this entry is a location and a name, with nothing we can say about paths, play equipment or facilities.
Distance / grade / surface: none stated on the pages we read, so we are giving no figures.
Station Waters Reserve — Cairnlea VIC 3023 (council prints no street number)
The council lists “Station Waters Reserve, Cairnlea” in the same neighbourhood parks group, and OpenStreetMap tags it as a park. As with Moorland Park, the council page prints no street number and states no features.
Station Waters Reserve is on the list because two independent sources agree it exists, not because either of them describes it. Treat it as a place to check on a map first.
Water and toilets: none stated on the council page, so do not assume either.
Waterfield Park — 2A Waterview Drive, Cairnlea VIC 3023
Waterfield Park has the second specific fact on this page. Brimbank City Council’s outdoor exercise equipment page lists “Waterfield Park, 2A Waterview Drive, Cairnlea – 2 stations”, which means two pieces or sets of outdoor exercise equipment. The council’s parks list also names it as Waterfield Park, Cairnlea, and OpenStreetMap tags it as a park.
The exercise page is the only place the equipment is described, and it does not say what the stations are, so check the council page if you want to plan a particular workout.
Start at: the council gives the address as 2A Waterview Drive, which is the point to put into a maps app.
Stockton Run Reserve — Cairnlea VIC 3023 (council prints no street number)
The council lists “Stockton Run Reserve, Cairnlea” among the neighbourhood parks around Deer Park, and OpenStreetMap tags it as a park. No street number and no features are given, so the entry stops there.
That is the honest end of what the public record says about this reserve. A park with no listed shelter is a park where the weather matters, so the forecast is worth a look.
Weather call: the Bureau of Meteorology forecast for the day is the one check we can point to, since the council page lists no features or shelter for this reserve.
Quick answers
Which of these parks has a playground and BBQ?
Kevin Flint Memorial Reserve at 142A Furlong Road, Cairnlea. The council’s feature line reads “lake setting with shelters, a playground, BBQ, seating and public toilets.” None of the other five has a playground or barbecue listed on the pages we read.
Is there outdoor exercise equipment near Deer Park?
Waterfield Park, 2A Waterview Drive in Cairnlea, is listed on the council’s outdoor exercise equipment page with 2 stations. We could not find a description of what the stations are.
Are any of these parks inside Deer Park?
No. All six are in Cairnlea, the neighbouring suburb, and each heading says so. The council also lists Isabella Williams Memorial Reserve, which it gives as 151 Neale Road, Deer Park, but we found no second source for it, so it is not on this page.
Which of these parks list toilets?
Only Kevin Flint Memorial Reserve, where the council’s feature line includes public toilets. The council pages for the other five state no features at all, so we cannot say either way.
How we checked
We checked every place on this page against at least two independent sources on 5 October 2026: OpenStreetMap and council pages. Facilities and opening hours change, so check the official page before you go. The photos are illustrative, from Unsplash: they show the kind of place, not the places on this page.
