Wolli Creek Regional Park

Wolli Creek Regional Park is a 50-hectare (120-acre) park located next to Wolli Creek in the Wolli Creek Valley, between Bexley North and Tempe in south-west Sydney.

The park is the result of a sustained community campaign to preserve the area and ensure the M5 East Freeway went underground. Although parts of the park have been formed, some areas of the originally planned park remain in the hands of government agencies such as Sydney Water and Roads & Maritime Services.

When complete, the planned nature reserve will offer easy public transport access, picnic areas, extensive views, bushland, walking tracks, a mixture of parkland, heathland, and woodland forests, and great birdwatching in close proximity to a heavily industrialized and residential backdrop. Visitors can get there by bike, public transport or by car following the directions provided in the "Getting there" section.

Wolli Creek regional park is located in an area of medium to low-density housing mixed with industrial and commercial landholdings. Still, parts of the park are steep, and the land was unsuitable for housing, leaving native bushland mostly undisturbed. Although an urban land-use encompasses the area, the park is a great habitat for native animals and plants, and opportunities exist for volunteers to help manage weeds and animal species.

The park consists of varying quality bushland, wetlands, open grass areas, mangroves, and endangered saltmarsh communities that are remnants of the flora that existed in the Sydney region before European settlement. This type of bushland is extremely rare in the inner city areas of Sydney and should be declared an endangered ecological community.
