Mitcham Reserve

Mitcham Reserve sits on Old Belair Road at Mitcham, in Adelaide's leafy inner south near the foothills. A much-loved local reserve, it's a lovely green space — combining open lawns, mature trees, a playground, a creek and walking paths with a relaxed, family-friendly setting, the kind of pleasant park that's a genuine local favourite for some time outdoors.

The appeal is that combination of open green space and great amenity: room to walk, play, picnic and relax, with a playground for the kids, the creek and the leafy surrounds, all in a convenient Mitcham location near the foothills. It's a beloved spot for families, dog walkers and anyone after a stroll, a picnic or some time outdoors.

With a 4.5 rating from more than 560 reviews, it's clearly a well-loved community space. The reserve is free and open, but facilities and any events vary, so it's worth taking sun protection on a warm day and checking the surrounds before a special trip — though for a walk, a play, a picnic or some time outdoors, you can generally just turn up and enjoy Mitcham Reserve.
