Whyalla Conservation Park (formerly Whyalla National Park) is a protected area located in the Australian state of South Australia about 10 kilometres (6.2 miles) north of the centre of city of Whyalla immediately adjoining the Lincoln Highway.^[5]

The conservation park was proclaimed under the

National Parks and Wildlife Act 1972 in 1972 in respect to an area of land already under statutory protection since 4 November 1971 as the "Whyalla National Park."^[5] The conservation park was described in 1998 in one source as follows:^[5]

…it is acknowledged as a fine example of the Western myall/chenopod (Acacia papyrocarpa/chenopod) woodland so characteristic of north-eastern Eyre Peninsula

. It was conserved both for the conservation value of this woodland and for its position only 10 km north of the City of Whyalla. It was intended to serve a recreational purpose for Whyalla as a picnic site.

The conservation park has been located within the suburb of

Whyalla Barson since 2011 and is classified as an IUCN Category III protected area.^[1]^[5]^[2] In 1980, it was listed on the now-defunct Register of the National Estate.^[6]
