Berowra Valley National Park

Berowra Valley National Park is a large protected area in northern Sydney, Australia.

It covers the catchment area of Berowra Creek and is surrounded by Hawkesbury Sandstone. The park extends into Galston Gorge to the west. The name "Berowra" comes from an indigenous word meaning "place of many winds."

Originally, only the Elouera Bushland Natural Park was part of Berowra Valley National Park. Additional lands were acquired in response to community concerns about bushland development, and the park was gazetted as Reserve No. 100092 in 1987. It was later renamed Berowra Valley Bushland Park and then Berowra Valley Regional Park before becoming a national park in 2012.

The park is home to a diverse range of native flora and fauna, including various bird species. It features sandstone heathland, eucalypt forest, creeks, waterholes, and wet gullies. Iconic plant species in the park include the Sydney red gum and blackbutt tree.

Visitors to Berowra Valley National Park can enjoy activities such as hiking the Great North Walk, a 16-mile trail that runs through the park. Other activities include mountain biking, scenic drives, picnics, and barbeques. The park offers a peaceful and biodiverse environment for nature lovers seeking a getaway.
