Only a 25 minute drive from Adelaide in the picturesque Adelaide Hills, South Australia’s oldest park is a favourite with locals and a lifetime away from the hustle and bustle of city life.
Fancy a hit of tennis, a spot of cricket or a game of golf? Belair includes more than 50 bushland tennis courts, several ovals, grassy picnic areas, free gas barbecues and even a golf course and caravan park nearby.
And then there’s an adventure playground that will keep kids entertained for hours, with a huge wooden fort, tunnels and poles on which to balance.

Heritage pavilions and an ornamental lake add to Belair’s nostalgic charm, as does an avenue of heritage-listed trees leading to Old Government House, the former summer residence of South Australia’s early Governors. Guided tours are available Sunday afternoons.
Spot koalas in the trees or delicate wildflowers on the ground, visit the lovely State Flora Belair Nursery which sells 1200 species of native plants or enjoy a leisurely stroll or bike ride around Playford Lake.
Most of Belair’s picnic and sporting facilities are available for hire and the park opens daily from 8am to sunset. Call Belair National Park Visitor Centre on (08) 8278 5477 for more details.
