Strategic directions for horse riding in NSW national parks

Horse riding is a healthy recreational activity which can raise awareness, appreciation and understanding of the natural and cultural values of national parks. The National Parks and Wildlife Service aims to provide a range of appropriate opportunities for horse riding.

Strategic directions for horse riding in NSW national parks will guide the provision of improved horse riding opportunities in the reserve system over the coming years. The development of the strategy was informed by over 200 public submissions on the draft strategy.
