Berowra Valley Regional Park
About the park
Berowra Valley Regional Park straddles large parts of the Berowra Creek catchment from Pennant Hills to Berowra Waters covering about 4,000 hectares or 8 percent of the shire.
Featuring expansive bushland scenery, it has enormous opportunities for bushwalking and recreation, protects the habitat of native flora and fauna and has many Aboriginal sites.
