Victoria Forest Park, Forest park in Buller District and Tasman District, New Zealand.

Victoria Forest Park covers 206,000 hectares, containing diverse beech forests and river systems within the Victoria and Brunner mountain ranges.

The park region transformed from minimal settlement to extensive development after Samuel Mackley established farming in 1861, leading to gold mining operations.

The area incorporates a network of tracks from the mining period, featuring preserved industrial elements that demonstrate New Zealand's resource extraction history.

Visitors can access the park through State Highway 6 and 69 from the north, or State Highway 7 from Canterbury and Greymouth regions.

The park contains all five New Zealand beech tree species: red, silver, mountain, black, and hard beech, supporting various native bird populations.
