The Waterpark Creek is a creek in Central Queensland, Australia.
The headwaters of the creek rise below Samuel Hill in the Great Dividing Range and flows in a south easterly direction. It continues through the Byfield National Park and then travels almost parallel with the Yeppoon - Byfield Road before discharging into Corio Bay, approximately 15km (09miles) north of Yeppoon, and then into the Coral Sea. The creek descends over its 35km (22miles) course.[1]
The drainage basin of the creek occupies an area of 1836km2 of which an area of 259km2 is made up of estuarine wetlands.[2]
In the section within the Byfield National Park, the creek contains a population of Rhadinocentrus ornatus, a small freshwater fish species.[3]
