Koala Park Sanctuary is a wildlife park located at West Pennant Hills in Sydney and one of the city’s most popular outdoor destinations. The park, just as the name suggests, is best known for its high population of koalas and natural rainforest environment.
The sanctuary’s history dates back to the 1920s, where it was opened ten years later by Noel Burnet, the park’s owner.

A visit to the park provides an excellent opportunity to view the wildlife up close. Most of the animals are kept in cages and behind wire for safety. In addition to the koalas, other animals in the park’s collection include peacocks, emus, dingos, penguins and cockatoos. There are also echidnas and wombats within the park. Bird watchers will enjoy the native bird species, making this a perfect family adventure.
There are several events that you can enjoy at the park. Look out for the live sheep shearing exhibition that runs at different times during the day; fondly referred to as the ‘Stockman’s Camp’. This is also an ideal place to enjoy Billy Tea and Damper while recounting bush stories from the years gone by.
