Wellington Park is the protected area which encompasses kunanyi / Mount Wellington and surrounds near Hobart, Tasmania. There are numerous hiking and mountain bike tracks within the park of varying difficulty.

Although it carries the same status as a national park (IUCN protected area category II), because the park contains private land it cannot technically be reserved as a national park.

Wellington Park is administered by the Wellington Park Management Trust established in 1993 whose members include: Hobart and Glenorchy City Councils, Tasmania Parks and Wildlife Service, DPIPWE, TasWater and Tourism Tasmania. The Wellington Park Management Trust is outlined in the Wellington Park Act 1993.
