Boukornine National Park (French: Parc national de Boukornine) is a national park in northern Tunisia.
The 1939ha park was established on 12 February 1987.[1] It is near the town of Hammam-Lif and just 15km (09miles) to the capital city of Tunis.[2]
The park is home to flowers like the Persian cyclamen and animals like the Etruscan shrew (the world's smallest known mammal) and the Mountain gazelle.[2]
The park is the site of Jebel Boukornine (a 576-metre mountain) and the Aïn Zargua spring, as well as an ecomuseum.[2]
