Where to take a stroll, walk the dog and ride a bike



While con­struc­tion is being com­plet­ed, there are still great oppor­tu­ni­ties to take a walk or ride a bike at Glen­thorne Nation­al Park-Itya­mai­it­pin­na Yarta.


As one of Adelaide’s dog-friend­ly nation­al parks, the 4km Glen­thorne Loop Trail pro­vides a great walk for you and your fur­ry friend. Just remem­ber to pick up their poo – our native wildlife will thank you. 

The Glen­thorne Loop Trail starts at the Glen­thorne Ranger Sta­tion, and takes vis­i­tors past more than 200,000 seedlings plant­ed in efforts to restore habi­tat and encour­age bio­di­ver­si­ty on the for­mer farm­land. This tem­po­rary trail includes a look­out with fab­u­lous views over the vis­i­tor hub, and con­nects to Hap­py Val­ley Reser­voir at the Blacks Road pedes­tri­an crossing.

If bik­ing is more your speed, you can test your skills on the moun­tain bike trails on the north­ern side of Majors Road, pre­vi­ous­ly O’Halloran Hill Recre­ation Park, which is now part of Glen­thorne Nation­al Park.

There’s 8km of trails, rang­ing from easy through to inter­me­di­ate and advanced. With ded­i­cat­ed climbs to bring you right back to the top of the trails, you can try them all! 

See the Glen­thorne Nation­al Park-Itya­mai­it­pin­na Yarta trails map for more information.

Please note that bike rid­ing is cur­rent­ly not allowed in the new area of Glen­thorne Nation­al Park on the south side of Majors Road, with many parts of the park still under construction.
