Thornhill Park
The suburb was gazetted by the Office of Geographic Names on 9 February 2017, following a proposal for eleven new suburbs by the City of Melton. The new name officially came into effect in mid-2017.
Prior to the suburb's creation, the area was mostly part of Rockbank, with a small section previously part of Mount Cottrell, in the south.
Recreation
Thornhill Park is currently home to Wiltshire Boulevard Reserve, which contains open space, community facilities and a playground. There are also wetlands in the north, in between Exmouth Street and the Western Highway.
