Why it's worth checking out
Belair National Park, on Upper Sturt Road in the Adelaide Hills near Mitcham, holds a special place in the state's history as South Australia's first national park, established in the 19th century. Just a short drive or train ride from the city, it offers a wonderful slice of the hills' natural beauty remarkably close to Adelaide.
The park is a haven for bushwalking, picnicking and spotting native wildlife, with a network of trails winding through eucalypt forest, plus tennis courts, ovals, lakes and the historic Old Government House to discover. It's a versatile, family-friendly destination that suits everything from a gentle stroll to a longer hike or a full day out.
With a 4.8 rating from more than 900 reviews, it's a much-loved escape for Adelaide locals. Park entry fees, facilities, trail conditions and any closures can vary with the season, so it's worth checking current park information before you go — and taking water, sun protection and decent footwear, particularly if you're planning to tackle the longer walking trails.
