NSW national parks host a wide range of events in many different park environments – from the slopes of Kosciuszko National Park to the beaches of the coastal parks. You can explore the historical and cultural heritage of our parks, or participate in one of the challenging physical activities that take advantage of the rugged nature of park environments.
Event organisers should ensure the sustainable and culturally appropriate use of sites by, wherever possible and practicable, informing and educating patrons and carrying out their operations in a sustainable manner.
