• Originally known as the Lane Cover River Park the area was renamed Lane Cove National Park in 1992. • Lane Cove National Park is about 10 km from Sydney's CBD. • It extends to the outskirts of Pennant Hills and Wahroonga and also consists of the land near the banks of the Lane Cove River. • The central section of the park was set aside in the 1920 for picnic areas between the bush and the river banks. • In the 1930s a weir was constructed which converted the middle section of the river from tidal salt water to fresh water with a constant depth which was suitable for recreational purposes. • A fish ladder was put in place next to the weir to enable the breed of the Australian bass. • The park is a haven for a wide variety of flora and fauna
