Top Rated Parks to Visit in Port Adelaide

"For wildlife spotting, city views and heart rate-raising hikes, head for Cleland Conservation Park. Flanking the eastern foothills of the city and marking the start of the Adelaide Hills, here a network of walking trails weaving through bushland are teeming with wildlife, including the popular Waterfall Gully to Mount Lofty hike and a section of the Heysen Trail. To hike without another soul in sight, choose one of the lesser known surrounding 11 trails and traverse through dense bushland, up challenging inclines, by waterfalls and past sites of historical and cultural importance as you spot koalas, kangaroos and birdlife."

Having visited many wildlife parks over the years, we decided to leave Cleland Wildlife Park off our list and were then berated by friends for doing so!. The park has been running since 1967 and provides an immersive nature experience for visitors who can connect with animals in their natural environment."

The staff are also SUPER tolerant of loud littles, and it makes a real difference when you’re not feeling guilty that your little people are being a bit rowdy… after all, they’re kids!"
