Only a 25-minute drive from Adelaide in the picturesque Adelaide Hills, Belair National Park is South Australia's oldest park and is a favourite with locals and a world away from the hustle and bustle of city life.

The Park has more than 50 bushland tennis courts, several ovals, grassy picnic areas and gas barbecues. Be on the lookout for koalas in the trees, admire wildflowers on the ground or visit the lovely State Flora Belair Nursery or enjoy a leisurely stroll or bike ride around Playford Lake.

There is also an adventure playground that will keep kids entertained for hours, with a huge wooden fort, tunnels and poles on which to balance.

Conserving remnant vegetation and a range of threatened flora and fauna, Belair National Park is helping to protect the state’s biodiversity.
