Old Gum Tree Reserve

Old Gum Tree Reserve is a practical suburban park in Glenelg North, located on MacFarlane Street and suited to relaxed outdoor time with children, friends or family. Its facilities include a picnic area, BBQ, seating, toilets, off-street and on-street parking, natural shade and reserve fencing.

The playground has equipment for different types of play, including baby and standard swings, climbing features, slides and a flying fox. There is also an active play area for a kick about, making the reserve useful for children who want more room to move beyond the playground itself.

A dog bag dispenser is provided, while the reserve’s natural shade and benches make it possible to settle in for a longer visit. The site is also listed as a memorial, adding a community-focused element to the space without taking away from its everyday use as a local park.

With its combination of play equipment, open activity space and picnic facilities, Old Gum Tree Reserve is best suited to families and small groups looking for an easy park visit in Adelaide’s western suburbs. It also works for a short solo stop or a simple outdoor break, although the available information does not indicate any dedicated walking trail or other specialist recreation facilities.
