About Glenthorne National Park-Ityamaiitpinna Yarta

Proclaimed in 2020, it is metropolitan Adelaide's newest national park, created from the historic Glenthorne Farm and adjoining O'Halloran Hill Recreation Park and other lands. The park conserves open grassy woodlands, wetlands and revegetation areas, with walking and cycling trails, picnic areas and views toward the city and coast.
