It's a excellent place to get the family they have play area to enjoy, also don't miss the walk to giants cave. If you are adventurous there are plenty of walking trails.

Beautiful walk! The Morialta Loop via First and Second Falls is a great mix of forest, cliffs, and waterfalls. The views are amazing, especially after some rain — though it does get a bit muddy then. The trail’s in good shape overall, not too steep on the ups or downs, and easy to enjoy at a steady pace. A solid choice for a relaxed hike with rewarding scenery close to the city.

A hiking trail for all! Whatever level you are. Morialta has trails from beginners to advanced depending on what you choose.
