Ariah Park is a small town in the Riverina region of New South Wales, Australia. The settlement was first established in 1850. The town's name came from resident Sam Harrison who purchased a portion of the Wellman Estate and then named that portion Ariah Park. The town is listed by the National Trust as a Conservation Area. The district produces sheep and wheat.
