Newington Nature Reserve is located on the southern side of the Parramatta River approximately twelve kilometres west of Sydney, between Homebush Bay and Silverwater, and is part of and is surrounded by The Parklands. It is in two disparate parts, a woodland of 13 hectares (Wanngal Woodland), and a wetland of 34.7 hectares (Wanngal Wetland), together providing the Newington Nature Reserve of 47.7 hectares.
The two parts of the Nature Reserve are separated by a narrow band of grassland that contains scattered trees, a railway line, buildings associated with the former Newington Royal Australian Navy Armament Depot, and a sealed service road.
