==Features== The park includes a prominent range of hills such as Bingar Mountain, {{convert|455|m}} above sea level and Brogden Mountain, {{convert|390|m}} above sea level, in an otherwise largely flat landscape. Adjoining the national park to the north is the Cocoparra Nature Reserve. The national park was gazetted in December 1969. The [[nature reserve]] was dedicated in 1963 with an area of {{convert|4647|ha}}.<ref>{{cite web|title=Cocoparra National Park and Cocoparra Nature Reserve: Plan of management|url=http://www.environment.nsw.gov.au/resources/parks/pomFinalCocoparraCocopara.pdf|type=PDF|work=[[National Parks and Wildlife Service (New South Wales)|NSW National Parks & Wildlife Service]]|publisher=[[Government of New South Wales]]|isbn=0-7310-0837-5 |date=March 1996|access-date=15 October 2014}}</ref> The Binya-Cocoparra area is classified by [[BirdLife International]] as an [[Important Bird Area]] because of its relatively large population (of up to 50 individuals) of the [[near threatened]] [[painted honeyeater]], as well as the [[diamond firetail]].<ref name=Datazone>{{cite web |url=http://datazone.birdlife.org/site/factsheet/binya-and-cocoparra-iba-australia |title=Binya and Cocoparra |website=datazone.birdlife.org |publisher=BirdLife International |access-date=14 March 2018}}</ref> The rugged, robust landscape of the park provides a large number of different habitats.<ref name="nationalparks.nsw.gov.au"/> The climate is [[Semi-arid climate|semi arid]]. The vegetation communities reflect this, with [[Acacia sensu lato|wattle]], [[orchids]], [[ironbark]] and blue-tinged [[Callitris|cypress pines]].<ref name="travel"/> The geology comprises Upper [[Devonian]] sandstones, siltstones and [[Conglomerate (geology)|conglomerates]]. There are a number of day use (picnic) areas in the park and a campground at Woolshed Flat.
