The park gets its name from the Gurringai tribe who lived in this area. This area of much eroded Hawkesbury sandstone is bounded on the north by the lower course of the Hawkesbury River and its estuary, Broken Bay. The sandstone plateau, dissected by an intricate network of submerged valleys (Cowan Water, Pittwater), has 112km of shoreline, with ideal conditions for water sports. Rich flora and fauna; Aboriginal rock paintings and drawings.
A number of walking trails have been laid out in the Bobbin Head and West Head areas.
