Warren Conservation Park (formerly Warren National Park) is a protected area in the Australian state of South Australia located in the Adelaide Hills about 36 kilometres (22 mi) north-east of the state capital of Adelaide and about 10 kilometres (6.2 mi) south-east of Williamstown.[2][5]

The conservation park consists of land in sections 118, 387 and 388 in the cadastral unit of the

National Parks and Wildlife Act 1972.[2][3][6][7] As of 2018, it covered an area of 3.64 square kilometres (1.41 sq mi).[4]

In 1980, it was described as follows:

Macropus fuliginosus
(western grey kangaroo) is common in the park, while a walking trail traverses the length of the park. The
Zoothera dauma (scaly thrush), which is a threatened bird due to destruction of its habitat ... , occurs in the park. Together with Hale Conservation Park
to the north, Warren Conservation Park contains unique geological exposures of a recently discovered unconformity between the Adelaidian sequence and a rejuvenated crystalline basement inlier.

The conservation park is classified as an IUCN Category III protected area.[1] In 1980, it was listed on the now-defunct Register of the National Estate.[5]
