Keilor Park Football Club is an Australian rules football club located 20 km north west of Melbourne in the suburb of Keilor Park and was founded as a junior club in October 1974 when residents met to establish a local football, basketball, and netball sporting club.
Club colours were chosen to reflect the now defunct local Keilor Park Primary School (1971–2008). This consisted of green with an orange strip and green socks. Its emblem was a Devil with a pitchfork. As history has it, the green and orange colours were adopted by the primary school in 1971 to reflect two distinct team 'houses' for students. Bulai-Bulai was the green colour and Wurra-Nunna was designated the orange.
The senior club was established in 1986 with its Under 18s winning the premiership that season. Trent Croad will be playing with the senior side in 2011. There are junior sides from Under 10s to Under 18s.
