Stromlo Forest Park is an Australian Capital Territory (ACT) government-supported outdoor recreation facility. It is located in western area of the ACT, adjacent to the Molonglo Valley, and about 15 minutes' drive from Canberra's Central Business District.[1]

Since the 2003 Canberra bushfires, the area around Mount Stromlo has been developed to provide mountain biking trails, pump track, BMX jumps, a criterium cycling track, and a cross-country running trail. It also contains the ACT Bushfire Memorial. The area is under active development, with current plans for a district oval. Since 2023, the park has been sponsored by University of Canberra.[2]
