A beautiful bushland park only 13 km from Adelaide CBD. This woodland has lakes to explore, amazing hikes and walks ranging in difficulty, biking trails, horse riding trails, tennis courts, lookouts and more.
With an abundance of wild Australian animals such as koalas, kangaroos and echidnas as well as a large range of native birdlife; there is always an animal to spot! For those who are plant lovers, there is a native nursery to peruse and a vast array of local native vegetation throughout the park to enjoy.
Guests can traverse the many walking trails located in the National Park, enjoy the local bike trails or disc golf course, explore greater Adelaide and its surroundings or just sit and relax by the pool or with a picnic, while the kids play.
Belair National Park is one of the greatest places to find koalas in South Australia. They are everywhere! So keep your eyes peeled and bring a camera. Alike koalas, kangaroos are also abundant in the park. As you walk along the trails be sure to search for these beautiful animals as the park is a great space for these animals to roam freely and safely.
The not so easily spotted include the bandicoots and echidnas... but when they are about, they are wonderful to watch!

This magnificent residence was at one stage the governor's summer residence and was used on and off from the 1860's. This is an excellent example of Victorian-style architecture and a great opportunity to inspect a stately home and the surrounding gardens. Most of the flora species within the park consist of South Australian Native Plant and Trees. Opening hours and entry fees can be found at the website link below.
