Belair National Park

Belair National Park is South Australia's oldest national park, located in the suburb of Belair within the City of Mitcham about 13 kilometres southeast of Adelaide. Established in 1891, it covers 835 hectares of native bushland, eucalypt woodland and recreational lakes in the Adelaide Hills. Notable for heritage buildings including Old Government House, extensive walking and cycling trails, and abundant native wildlife, it is a major conservation and recreation reserve close to metropolitan Adelaide.

Visitors can expect open eucalypt woodland, native bushland, grassy valleys and two main lakes (Playford Lake and Valley Lake) with picnic grounds and heritage pavilions. The park has a network of marked walking and cycling trails of varying difficulty, historic sites including Old Government House and the former Government Farm buildings, ovals and tennis courts, and opportunities to see kangaroos, koalas, emus and birdlife. Facilities are concentrated around the main visitor precincts with more remote bush trails beyond.
