About Wilson Botanic Park Berwick
With 39 hectares to be explored, the park has over 1000 different plants species, with both natives and exotics. You can see over 80 different species of birds as well as turtles, frogs, lizards and snakes. Keep this in mind as you enjoy the park.
You can use our picnic areas and BBQ facilities to relax with friends, and kids love the playground. You can also explore the wonderful walking tracks around the park.
If you are a bird watcher, you can enjoy our Birdhide. It is perched on the edge of the Basalt Lake and provides the perfect cover to see some of our native wildlife.

Algae in the waters at the park
Recent water testing has confirmed the presence of blue-green algae in the waters at the park. Your safety is our top priority, so here's what you need to know:
- Blue-green algae can be harmful to both humans and animals if ingested or in prolonged contact with skin.
- Please avoid any contact with the water, including swimming or allowing pets to swim in the affected areas.
- If you or your pet come into contact with water from the park, wash thoroughly with clean water and seek medical attention if you experience any adverse reactions.
- Blue-green Algae is a natural phenomenon and will pass with time. We will continue to test and monitor the water.
