Greenmount National Park is a small protected area on the Darling Scarp in Western Australia, conserving remnant native forest and the steep escarpment that overlooks the Swan Coastal Plain. It is valued locally for short walks, lookouts and native vegetation.
Trails and picnic areas provide access to viewpoints across the coastal plain, and tracks pass through jarrah and marri woodland typical of the region. The park is used for day visits rather than extended backcountry trips and forms part of a chain of reserves on the scarp.
The park lies on the eastern edge of the Perth metropolitan area along the Great Eastern Highway corridor, near the suburb of Greenmount and the towns that flank the scarp. It is readily reached from Perth for short recreational outings.
