==Facilities== [[File:Torndirrup Peninsula to Bald Head.JPG|thumb|View along walking track out to Torndirrup Peninsula and Bald Head]] There is an entry fee to access the park. Access to the park is via Frenchman Bay Road, which is sealed and well sign-posted. Access to most features is via sealed roads. No other facilities exist within the park but barbecues, tables, shops and toilets can be found nearby at Frenchman Bay. Entry fees are required to visit the Gap and Natural Bridge. The park has numerous walks, mostly of a distance of less than {{convert|1500|m|ft|0}}, including the Jimmy Newhills walk and the Stony Hill Heritage Trail walk. The longest trail is the {{convert|10|km|abbr=on}} Bald Head Walk along Flinders [[peninsula]] finishing at Bald Head at the eastern edge of the park.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.australiannationalparks.com/westernaustralia/Torndirrup/default.htm|title=Australian National Parks - Torndirrup National Park|year=2009|access-date=16 May 2010}}</ref> A {{AUD}}6.1 million upgrade of facilities at the Gap and the Natural Bridge opened in 2016. The redevelopment included two universally accessible lookout structures, connecting paths, a picnic area, interpretive signage and a car park. A [[cantilevered]] grated see-through platform at the Gap rises almost {{convert|40|m|ft|0}} above the [[Southern Ocean]] (also known as Antarctic Ocean) and extends {{convert|10|m|ft|abbr=on}} out from the cliff face, of which {{convert|4|m|ft|abbr=on}} is directly above the ocean.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.mediastatements.wa.gov.au/Pages/Barnett/2016/04/New-park-lookout-open-at-The-Gap-near-Albany.aspx|work=Media Statement|title=New park lookout open at The Gap near Albany|date=10 April 2016|publisher=[[Government of Western Australia]]|access-date=20 June 2016|archive-date=23 September 2021|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210923172612/https://www.mediastatements.wa.gov.au/Pages/Barnett/2016/04/New-park-lookout-open-at-The-Gap-near-Albany.aspx|url-status=dead}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.abc.net.au/news/2016-04-11/daring-cantilevered-lookout-opens-in-western-australia/7316078|title=Daring cantilevered lookout opens in Western Australia following construction delays|author=Leah McLennan|date=11 April 2016|publisher=[[Australian Broadcasting Corporation]]}}</ref>
