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.
Wilson Botanic Park Berwick dates back to 1859 when it was founded as a quarry. In the late 1980s, together with Friends of Wilson Botanic Park Berwick we started to transform the park into the beautiful area it is today.
Whether you want to be active or just relax, the park has something for everyone.
For well over 100 years the site was basalt quarry which has now been transformed into one of City of Casey's Premier Parks. Wilson Botanic Park focuses on a number of plant collection primarily for conservation, education and recreational purposes.
Surrounded by the expanding urban environment, Wilson Botanic Park Berwick is an island oasis to many birds and animals. Most visitors are fortunate to see some of the precious wildlife that inhabit the park. This includes turtles, birds and the occasional blue tongue lizard.
The Friends of Wilson Botanic Park Berwick is an active community group that guides the development of the park.
We aim to provide access for all at Wilson Botanic Park Berwick. Please contact on 9707 5818 for further enquiries regarding accessibility.
