Charles Darwin National Park

Charles Darwin National Park is a 13 sq km protected area located 4 km southeast of central Darwin in the Northern Territory, Australia. It preserves extensive mangrove wetlands, woodlands and Darwin Harbour foreshore. Notable for its World War II concrete bunkers and ammunition storage areas, as well as Aboriginal shell middens, the park offers walking and cycling trails, lookouts and birdwatching close to the city, combining natural, historical and cultural values.

Visitors can expect a quiet bushland park close to Darwin city with mangrove-lined inlets, eucalypt woodland, and views over Darwin Harbour. Sealed and unsealed roads lead to lookouts, picnic areas, WWII bunkers and ammunition storage buildings, and interpretive displays. Walking tracks and an extensive mountain bike trail network wind through the park, with opportunities for birdwatching, photography and learning about natural and wartime heritage.
