Maduru Oya National Park (Sinhala: මාදුරු ඔය ජාතික වනෝද්යානය, romanized: Māduru Oya Jātika Vanōdyānaya; Tamil: மாதுரு ஓயா தேசிய பூங்கா, romanized: Māturu Ōyā Tēciya Pūṅkā) is a national park of Sri Lanka, established under the Mahaweli development project and also acts as a catchment of the Maduru Oya Reservoir. The park was designated on 9 November 1983.[2] Providing a sanctuary to wildlife, especially for elephants and protecting the immediate catchments of five reservoirs are the importance of the park. A community of Vedda people, the indigenous ethnic group of Sri Lanka lives within the park boundary in Henanigala.[3] The park is situated 288 kilometres (179 mi) north-east of Colombo.[4]
