• How you can help

leave your dog at home when you visit a national park;
find out the location of local council reserves where you can exercise your dog; report any sighting of dogs in a national park to the nearest NPWS office;
explain to friends why dogs are not allowed in national parks.

With your help we can protect and conserve the natural environment for everyone to enjoy.

For more information about national parks contact the NPWS Information Centre (02) 9585 6333 or your nearest NPWS office.

Park Fees

To help maintain and protect our National Parks as community assets, the NSW National Parks and Wildlife Service (NPWS) is asking visitors to help with the cost of providing visitor facilities.

Funds raised through visitor fees are used locally to maintain and manage facilities and services. This frees up more NPWS funds for pest, fire and weed management and for other programs to protect threatened and endangered species.

Annual passes are available through NPWS offices, or by calling 1300 361 967.
