Belair National Park offers an appealing mix of native wildlife and colonial heritage. While brightly colored parrots and koalas are common, the centre piece of the park comprises the elegant sandstone buildings and gardens of Old Government House. Walkers can enjoy a stroll around Playford Lake or join a network of marked trails that wind along scenic hilltops and straddle creek beds. For families the park is peppered with barbecue areas, sports ovals and 54 ramshackle tennis courts: all part of the charm!
