Rugged reserve with walking tracks to several seasonal waterfalls, rock climbing & wildlife viewing.

Popular sandy beach with cafes & a grassy playground, plus a jetty for sunset views & fishing.

Coastal park featuring interpretive boardwalks amid Ice Age glacial pavements, plus a rocky beach.

👍👍 It is such a beautiful beach to go to for a day out or an evening stroll. Went there in the midday and stayed there till the afternoon. Staying there till sunset 🌅 would have been so much more fun... Anyway, enjoyed every single moment in there. The waves are big and it’s definitely worth diving i...

👍👍 This is one of the parks that impressed me the most in Adelaide. It's only about 12km from CBD. The most interesting feeling for me is walking around the lake, listening to the sound of running water and watching the flocks of pigeons flying in the blue sky. New and spacious children's playground...

👍👍 An absolutely stunning beach that includes Dog Friendly Multiple beach entrances Good walking trail along the coast Miniature train rides on weekends Shops and supermarkets BBQ and seating Dog cleanup and drinking fountains Historical scenery Skate park Beach gym Pier Would recommend as a great al...

Picturesque natural area teeming with wildlife & offering trails & sweeping coastal views.

Wetland area with walking/biking trails & boardwalks, plus picnic & bird-watching areas.

👍👍 Can't beat a beautiful ride along the linear trail! When the water is flowing, it's so pretty and refreshing. The only point of criticism I would note is that dogs are often loose and have come off my bike due to a dog running out in front of me. The trail itself is very peaceful and picturesque. Lo...

👍👍 We did the hike in Sturt Gorge Recreation Park last Saturday. It was a bit drizzly in the morning, but the color in the park got so much more vivid because of the grooming weather. We took our cat Parker with us this time. He loved being in the wilderness! We had him on a leash where he was walking...

👍👍 Best place around for a workout and challenge. Awesome surroundings also

👍👍 The 20 minute walking trail has been completed along with plant naming signs and arrows clearly indicating the Botanic Trail. The volunteers have done a great job planting native flora beautifying the area. The views from the lighthouse of the beach and coast from Kingston Park to Brighton are reall...

Visitors can spot kangaroos, koalas & other native species in this nature area with walking paths.

👍 Fantastic to go to and park on the beach 🏖 itself... and you can go even with a normal car 🚗..

👍👍 What could be more enjoyable than an early winter day walking the trails of Para Wirra, where water flows through? Peaceful footsteps brought me to lie on the lakeside, listen to the birds chirping on the branches and not mind the bustling city life. At Para Wirra, I can be myself, breathe the brea...

👍 Maslin Beach is a very large and flat beach. It's beautiful and quiet. The sand is very pure, but the grains of sand are coarser than other beaches. The parking lot on the hillside is very large and there are many parking spaces.

👍👍 There is a lot of work being done and it shows. I appreciate that an old style garden is established alongside areas of native vegetation. The old architecture of dams and cascades, old growth trees with thick canopies and new garden beds give plenty of photo opportunities. Edit: Second creek is flo...

👍👍 Great place here. Lots of wildlife. It really feels like you are walking in the bush while you are here, but beware that there are some closed paths and you will need to walk along the borders (main roads) which is not entirely convenient Amazing scenery and wildlife. Great hiking trails. A very...

👍👍 WOW! This hike is worth every steep step uphill. After walking up the hill to where we could see over Adelaide, we continued walking the track and it was so refreshing! We saw kangaroos 🦘 and the views were spectacular. There are multiple waking tracks so it gives us a reason to go back and explore...

👍👍 Extremely peaceful here. At the moment we are the first campers since the reopening. The new eco toilets are much better than the old single drop one. 3 toilets & 1 sink & wheelchair accessible. 28 fairly well defined camp areas with fire pots. We are amazed that all the roads are closed for vehicle...
