Lane Cove National Park

Lane Cove National Park stretches along both sides of the Lane Cove River from East Ryde to Pennant Hills and West Chatswood in New South Wales. The grounds feature bushland, open riverside areas, and several trails winding through native vegetation.

The land was originally inhabited by Aboriginal people before becoming a protected park managed by NSW National Parks and Wildlife Service. This change safeguarded the natural landscape for future generations.

The park provides local visitors with spaces to picnic and barbecue near the river and native bushland. These areas serve the community as important gathering spots in nature.

Visitors should wear comfortable shoes and bring water, especially on warmer days when exploring the walking trails. It helps to get an overview of the park areas upon arrival and secure a parking spot if the grounds become busy.

Visitors can rent boats from Lane Cove Boatshed to navigate the river while observing kookaburras and lorikeets in their natural setting. This offers a different perspective on the wildlife than exploring the walking trails.
