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, and every price was copied from the page it was published on.
Five places made it onto this list, in and around Deer Park: three are in Deer Park, one is in Derrimut and one is in Cairnlea. Each heading carries the place’s own suburb.
This is a list of places, not events. We have not confirmed anything running this weekend, so check the venue before you head out. Where a source prints weekend hours or a price, we give it and name the source. Where it does not, we say so and leave the number out.

Hunt Club Community and Arts Centre — 755 Ballarat Road, Deer Park VIC 3023
Brimbank City Council describes the Hunt Club Community and Arts Centre as a historic landmark that offers art exhibitions, workshops and creative programs for all ages. Wikipedia says the original Hunt Club building still stands on Ballarat Road, next to the Deer Park sports oval, and is now a community centre.
We found no opening hours, prices or booking details for it, so none are given here.
Plan it: ask Brimbank Council or Creative Brimbank what programs are on, because we could not read a program, a price or a booking page.
Kororoit Creek Trail — Deer Park VIC 3023
Brimbank Council’s Explore Deer Park page says: “Walk or cycle along the Kororoit Creek Trail and take in the natural beauty of the area.” It adds a picnic suggestion: pack a picnic and unwind at Isabella Williams Memorial Reserve or one of the parks. OpenStreetMap tags the trail as a bicycle route on the Metropolitan Trail Network.
It is a long trail with no single address, and the pages we read give no distance, so pick a turnaround point before you set off.
Free first: the council page we read states no entry cost for the trail, and none of the sources we gathered lists a price for it.
Brimbank Shopping Centre — Cnr Neale and Station Roads, Deer Park VIC 3023
The centre’s own site lists weekend trading hours of Saturday 9.00am - 5.00pm and Sunday 10.00am - 5.00pm. It also lists Thursday 9.00am - 9.00pm and Friday 9.00am - 9.00pm, and says trading hours may vary, so check with individual stores.
For a family outing, the site says: “Our free kids playground is located in Centre Court outside Target.” It also advertises over 1600 FREE car parking spaces, including undercover parking, accessible parking and parents with prams parking. A Parent’s Room next to Just Jeans is listed with toilet facilities and 2 private feeding rooms. The stores page lists, among others, Target, ALDI, Coles, Woolworths, Best & Less, The Reject Shop, Nandos, Chatime and Sushi Sushi.
Get there: the centre says it is on the corner of Neale and Station Roads in Deer Park; we did not read a public transport route for it, so run the address through the PTV planner.
Mt Derrimut Golf & Community Club (The Eatery at MDGC) — 475 Mt Derrimut Road, Derrimut VIC 3026
The club’s site describes an 18 hole mini golf course with three levels of difficulty on each hole, and invites you to bring the family down or challenge your mates. It lists mini golf hours of Saturday 9am – Sunset and Sunday 9am – Sunset, and driving range hours of Saturday 7am – 10pm and Sunday 7am – 10pm.
Printed prices are Mini Golf: Adult $14, Mini Golf: Child (5-17yr old) $9 and Mini Golf: Family (2 Adults + 2 Children) $34. A Driving range: Bucket of 30 balls is $13 at the non-member price.
The bistro, The Eatery at MDGC, lists Saturday 10:00 – 18:00 and Sunday 10:00 – 18:00 as its trading hours. The site says the outdoor terrace area provides a unique and beautiful setting for a relaxing drink or meal. We could not read bistro menu prices as text, so none are given. These are bistro hours, not course hours. Derrimut is the neighbouring suburb, about 2.9 km from the Deer Park centre point.
On the menu (copied from mtderrimut.com.au/driving-range-mini-golf on 5 October 2026):
- Mini Golf: Adult: $14
- Mini Golf: Child (5-17yr old): $9
- Mini Golf: Family (2 Adults + 2 Children): $34
- Driving range: Bucket of 30 balls: $13
Time needed: the site lists 18 holes but no suggested playing time, so we cannot say how long a round takes.
Kevin Flint Memorial Reserve — 142A Furlong Road, Cairnlea VIC 3023
Brimbank Council lists Kevin Flint Memorial Reserve under its Flagship parks, with these features: lake setting with shelters, a playground, BBQ, seating and public toilets. Cairnlea is the neighbouring suburb to Deer Park.
We did not read opening hours or an entry cost for the reserve, so none are given here.
Rain backup: the council lists shelters at the reserve; it does not say how much cover they give, so treat it as a dry-weather stop and check the forecast before you go.
