Michael Perry Botanic Reserve is a leafy reserve in Stonyfell, within Adelaide’s City of Burnside, known for its trail alongside Second Creek. It is well used by walkers and offers a straightforward setting for a quiet stroll, a picnic or time outdoors among the reserve’s gardens and natural surroundings.
The reserve includes trails, picnic tables, an accessible feature and a dog bag dispenser. Council has also declared a new dog on-leash area at Michael Perry Reserve, so dog owners should check the current requirements before visiting. Its mix of walking space and picnic facilities makes it suitable for solo visitors, families and anyone looking for a relaxed outdoor break in Adelaide’s eastern suburbs.
There is a strong local history behind the reserve. It was created in the 1970s after the subdivision of the historic Clifton Estate, which was established in the 1850s by George Sismey, an early investor in South Australia’s mining and quarry industries. The reserve takes its name from Michael Perry, who served as a councillor, alderman and mayor between 1958 and 1983. Located at 6 Kurrajong Avenue, it offers an accessible way to experience part of Burnside’s heritage while following the Second Creek trail.
