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.

Another one of my favourite conservation parks in Adelaide. Love coming here during the school holidays and getting my son off the Nintendo. Many different walking trails to choose from and they all lead to stunning views and wildlife.
Winter and spring bring stronger waterfall flow; summer months can get hot—visit early or late to avoid midday sun. After rain, creek pools fill for safe splash play.
