Legend
history “One of the oldest parks in Adelaide was officially reserved for recreation purposes in 1858. In the 1840s agriculture, market gardening and quarrying were established in the valley. Concrete pits were used to store horse manure for the market gardens and to prevent pollution of the creek, while stone quarries provided sandstone and slate for buildings. In 1915, the 51ha park was first declared a National Pleasure Resort under the Nationals Parks and Wildlife Act 1972 to preserve river red gums and riparian zone habitat.
