Popran National Park is a protected national park that is located west of the M1 Pacific Motorway in the Central Coast region of New South Wales, in eastern Australia. The 3,970-hectare (9,800-acre) park is situated 95 kilometres (59 mi) north of Sydney.^[1] The Park takes its name from Popran Creek which rises in the locality of Central Mangrove and then flows for approximately 24 km in a mostly southern direction until it reaches Mangrove Creek. Popran Creek flows through the Glenworth Valley, also known as the Popran Valley. The average elevation of the terrain is 135 metres.^[2]

The Aboriginal heritage is felt at every step, so a historical connection with this land cannot be avoided.^[3]

Various types of recreation are available here, from horse riding, mountain biking, fishing, picnicking and bird watching.^[4]
