Orienteering and rogaining are great ways for people to enjoy parks, but they must be managed to avoid damage to ecosystems, cultural sites and park infrastructure.

Place names are part of the heritage of New South Wales and can reflect the history, culture and landscape of an area.

Pets are generally not allowed in parks as they can harm native animals and disrupt park visitors' enjoyment.

National parks sometimes enclose or adjoin other lands, such as private properties, where the only practical way to access those properties is by travelling on roads or trails through parks.

Sometimes it may be necessary to revoke, recategorise or adjust the boundaries of parks or other lands reserved under the National Parks and Wildlife Act 1974.

The NSW Clean Air Strategy 2021–30 is the whole-of-government approach to improving air quality and health in cities and regions throughout New South Wales.
