About Belair

Established in 1891 as South Australia's first national park and the second in Australia, this historic 835-hectare park lies just 25 minutes from Adelaide in the Adelaide Hills. The park features beautiful natural bushland, woodlands, lakes, walking and mountain biking trails, plus tennis courts and cricket pitches. Old Government House, the summer residence of early South Australian governors, sits at its heart. The park remains one of the few relatively undisturbed areas of native vegetation in the Adelaide Hills, providing important refuge for koalas, kangaroos, and native birds.
