Wendoree Park is a Community of the Central Coast region of New South Wales, Australia, located in a remote region on the east bank of Mangrove Creek and on the north bank of the Hawkesbury River 58 kilometres (36 mi) north of Sydney. It is part of the Central Coast Council local government area.

The community was originally conceived as a "dream village" by Athol Leeming Spring when he purchased property there around the 1940s/1950s. He gave the site the name "Wendoree Park" and hoped to build a village there of 250 self-contained cottages, overlooking Spencer.

Wendoree Park was historically made up of weekenders due to its remote, rural location on the east bank of Mangrove Creek. Recently, Wendoree Park, a very close nit community has shifted from being made up of primarily weekenders to now permanent residence. Wendoree Park is now considered quite a 'back water' community in the region along with surrounding communities.
