recreation park. There are purpose-built trails perfect for beginner and intermediate riders, with a couple of sections that will give even the most experienced of riders a thrill. The Kites and Kestrels adventure playground is also a fantastic place for a barbecue picnic. Gas BBQs are permitted on the grassy area near the playground (but not on days of total fire bans). This exciting playground includes a flying fox and climbing structures inspired by tree-top raptor nests. Cobbler Creek contains the largest remaining stand of the endangered mallee box grassy woodland on the Adelaide Plains, making it an important conservation area. This area also contains iron-grass species and a variety of native perennial grasses, including brush wire grass, kangaroo grass, spear grasses and wallaby grasses. Tapa Martinthi Yala Bikeway
Salisbury has over 100km of trails to explore, including the Little Para Trail and Dry Creek Trail. They provide a fantastic safe and scenic option for walkers, runners and bike riders. Within the trails there are parks, paths and even areas just for BMX. Here are a few to try:
