Itinerary highlights
The South Park Lands Creek
The presence of a watercourse through Kurangga has been largely obscured with the advent of dense closed woodland plantings. Many would regard this as the most beautiful natural area of Kurangga A host of old growth river red gums grow along the creek-line here.
BMX Bike Tracks
Adelaide City Dirt Trails is a hub for BMX recreation and draws users from all over the country and the world. Bike riders of all ages and skill levels can enjoy a variety of different bike tracks – from beginners to advanced. Suitable for a range of bikes, this is the perfect area for family and friends to get out, be active and get a little dirty. The large slopes and mini hills are reserved for older, experienced riders who take their adventure sport very seriously.
TreeClimb Aerial adventure course
The 16,000 square metre course is available only for paying customers but the ground below is still be open space available to the public. There’s a range of 70 obstacles: suspension lines, bridges, flying foxes and climbing obstacles set amongst the existing trees, ground plantings and the South Park Lands Creek.
