About Tweed Regional Park

 

Tweed Regional Park encompasses a diverse range of ecosystems within the Tweed Shire of northeastern New South Wales, Australia. Covering over natural floodplains, subtropical rainforests, woodlands, and coastal wetlands, the park offers vital habitat for many native plants and animals, including several threatened species. The region is shaped by the nearby Tweed River and the ancient volcanic caldera of Mount Warning, creating a varied terrain of rolling hills, riverbanks, and forested slopes. Historically, the area holds significance for the local Aboriginal peoples, particularly the Bundjalung Nation, who have a lasting cultural connection to the land. Today, Tweed Regional Park provides visitors with multiple recreational opportunities such as extensive walking trails, bird watching, cycling routes, and picnic areas. Notable landmarks include scenic river lookouts, patches of rare subtropical rainforest, and diverse wetlands teeming with waterbirds. The park is accessible year-round and serves as a green oasis close to the urban centers of the Tweed Coast, promoting outdoor education and environmental conservation. Visitors appreciate the blend of peaceful natural surroundings with easy access to the amenities of nearby towns. Efforts to sustain native biodiversity and rehabilitate degraded areas are ongoing, ensuring Tweed Regional Park remains a valued destination for nature enthusiasts and families seeking outdoor recreation.
