Charles Darwin National Park is a national park in the Northern Territory of Australia, 4 km southeast of Darwin. It is notable for its World War II–era concrete bunkers, one of which has been converted into a visitors centre and display of World War II memorabilia. It also has lookouts towards the city of Darwin. It contains middens used by the Larrakia people.[https://nt.gov.au/leisure/parks-reserves/find-a-park-to-visit/charles-darwin-national-park Charles Darwin National Park]
The park has extensive fire trails suitable for bush walking, as well as a mountain bike trail maintained by the Darwin Off-Road Cyclists Club.[http://www.dorc.com.au Darwin Off-Road Cyclists Club] Regular events held in the park include the Earthdance festival.
