Anstey Hill Recreation Park Gate 6 reviews
26 My daughter and i could only spare an hour or so with one baby in a pram, a toddler and a young kelpie.
But one soon loses sight of the car park and quickly loses oneself in the fresh country air, surrounded by trees and ferns and grasses exploring the climbing pathway alongside a bubbling brook.
The dog was in heaven. We could have spent much much longer here.
Great place for taking a walk. They have lots of different tracks and some brilliant views. Whether you prefer a casual stroll or an intensive hike, there's lots to offer.
We decided to check out the Newman Nursery Ruins walk during the school holidays. "Start off easy" was our plan.
We met at gate 6 Perseverance Road at 10am with grandkids in tow. The 1.6km treck was not as difficult as i thought it would be. The kids absolutely loved it and were always at least 30mtr ahead of us "oldies". On almost reaching the ruins the kids found a huge thick canopied tree and walked through a cut out in it to find a clear area right around the trunk, what a fantastic place to shelter if ever it rained and you got caught out. The ruins were a hit, with the kids exploring virtually every inch of them, and the stories they made up thinking of what the rooms could have been and how they were used (mind you - we didnt suggest any of this). Its amazing what imagination pre-teens have. There were information plaques that told you the history of the site and establishment of Newmans Nursery. We spent almost an hour at the ruins and the kids didnt really want to leave. With a packed lunches and a blanket carried in backpacks would make it a very nice picnic walk. The walk took us approx 2.5 hours altogether. I wouldn't mind doing it again.
This is a beautiful walk, made even more so by the abundance of Butterflies and Dragonflies this time of year ️

Gully filled with Arum Lillies in September and water running freely. Makes for nice walk in early spring but can imagine not as pretty in middle of summer. Either way, it's the quickest track to the Ruins which are lovely to check out any time of the year.
I love to take the kids to walk and ride at Anstey Hill. It is on the back of suburbia with rich wildlife and fabulous scenery.
A beautiful spot with an interesting bit of mining history. The wildlife was a sight to see also.
Great place for a walk, great for dogs, very clean, some lovely historical ruins to view. All in all a great time out in the open.
Beautiful spot with lots of different tracks to explore. Nice to tune out and see some wildlife every time I go
Great walking trail. Few different courses of varying difficulty. Beautiful views once you get to the top though.
Amazing walk, so many options for different paths. Quite an uphill walk in some parts but very rewarding. Beautiful untouched terrain
Walking from North East road we took gate 7, which is at the end of Leopold Street. The paths join within 1 km, you can see it on the satellite image.
Beautiful place to go for a walk feel nature sweetness and enjoy some animals along the way. And easy parking too.
Excellent park, lots of different, interesting tracks and places to explore. Nice flora and fauna.
Walked the Yellow-Tail track for the first time. Started at gate 6. A good upwards walk for the start, which was probably the hardest part of the walk. Always good to get the hard part out of the way first. Then became a very good walk on well maintained tracks, with great scenery as a bonus. One more steep part, but not as long as at the start, about 2/3 of the way through.
Didn't like the steepish decent about 1 km from the end; it was partly paved and just didn't give a comfortable grip.
Overall, a very enjoyable walk in a beautiful park.
Great place to clear your lungs after a week at work TTGully council have done a great job up here recommend
Around 8 spaces in a dedicated sealed carpark at the start of the trail (with information signage), or if the parking spaces are full there is small laneway alongside the road where there is usually ample parking alognside the trees.
A fantastic place to walk and take in the beautiful surroundings.
You would struggle to think that your 30 minutes from the Adelaide CBD.
Plenty of native animals and there are a variety of tracks to suit everybody's needs, all of which are sign posted.
The variety of birds, plants, amazing. Different walks all levels, cannot say beginners as the area is hilly and the walks, even though there are no stairs are quite steep. The serenity and views, peaceful.
