Beelu National Park, Nature reserve in City of Kalamunda, Australia.
Beelu National Park covers 46.17 km² south of Mundaring, east of Perth, within the Parks of the Darling Range. The Helena River runs through it and forms Lake CY O'Connor behind Mundaring Weir. The park's jarrah, marri, bull banksia, sheoak and grass tree woodlands are home to emus.
Mundaring National Park was gazetted in 1995 under the state government's Protecting Our Old Growth Forests policy. It was renamed Beelu in 2008 to acknowledge the traditional owners; Beelu comes from the Noongar word for river or stream, and the Beelu people's district was bounded by the Helena, Swan and Canning rivers.
