Visiting one of Adelaide’s most popular playgrounds just got easier

Mori­al­ta Con­ser­va­tion Park has been a favourite escape for Ade­laide fam­i­lies for over 100 years.

The well-loved recre­ation­al space is now even more visitor friendly with over 100 car parks now available including four accessible parks.

The car park precinct is now almost three times bigger with new walking paths and a designated drop-off and pick-up space for buses to provide safer access for children, school groups and families visiting the five themed play spaces built across the Stradbroke Road picnic area.

The new development was carefully designed to minimise impact on the surrounding vegetation. Ecologists have carefully chosen 1650 local native plants to revegetate the area.

The upgrades are part of a larger plan to improve community access and activities in our national parks in metropolitan areas.

This includes more walk­ing and cycling trails, pub­lic toi­lets, bar­be­cue and pic­nic areas, and play­grounds for South Australian’s to better enjoy our national parks.

So why not get into nature and make a day of it at Morialta?

Enjoy explor­ing the creek, wood­lands, gorges, and stun­ning water­falls, which will make you feel miles away from the city just a 10-minute drive from Adelaide CBD.

The play ­space is located near toi­lets, bar­be­cue areas and lots of shelters and shaded areas amid the park’s exist­ing net­work of bush walk­ing, moun­tain bik­ing and rock climb­ing trails – something for the whole family!
