Scheyville National Park Park

Scheyville National Park is a protected area in the Hawkesbury-Nepean region northwest of central Sydney that conserves open woodlands, native grasslands and sandstone country. The park includes cleared farming areas and remnant native vegetation noted for biodiversity and cultural heritage.

Recreational uses include walking tracks, picnicking and low-impact exploration of woodland and grassland habitats. The park is also known for visible heritage remains and interpreted sites that reflect its varied past uses.

The land has a history of agricultural use and was later used for military and training purposes before being managed for conservation and recreation. Management emphasises protection of native grasslands and restoration of woodland areas.

Scheyville sits roughly northwest of central Sydney in New South Wales, accessible by road from the metro area. The landscape is a mix of cleared fields, remnant woodlands and sandstone ridges.
