Brooklyn Park is approximately 6 kilometres (3.7 mi) from the Adelaide coast (West Beach and Henley Beach) and 5.5 kilometres (3.4 mi) from the Adelaide Central Business District. Lockleys Post Office opened on 1 September 1904 and was renamed Brooklyn Park in 1967. Brooklyn Park now includes a subdivision that was originally named Bismarck; it was changed by the Nomenclature Committee to "Weeroopa" in 1918.
The intersection of Marion Road and Sir Donald Bradman Drive (in the southeast corner of Brooklyn Park) was allocated 45 million dollars by the Federal and State Governments for upgrades in 2022.
