Onkaparinga River National Park, Nature reserve in City of Onkaparinga, Australia.
The Onkaparinga River National Park extends across 15.42 square kilometers of land, featuring deep gorges, permanent rock pools, and extensive walking trails.
The protected area was established in 1993 after the land was acquired between 1973 and 1977 by the State Planning Authority for recreational purposes.
The Kaurna Aboriginal people inhabited the lower reaches of the Onkaparinga River, giving the river its name which translates to 'chief' in their language.
The park includes sixteen marked walking paths of varying lengths, from the 0.6-kilometer Noarlunga Downs Wetland Trail to the 6.1-kilometer Gorge Track.
Rock climbing activities are permitted near Gate 10, requiring specific equipment and prior contact with the Belair District Office for authorization.
