Anstey Hill Recreation Park

Absolutely amazing trail. Did not expect to see any wildlife but within the first 10 minutes had many different birds and even kangaroos! Was lovely and so many wild flowers gives it a perfect scenery.

As i walking along North East Road i came across Anstey Hill Park! This is a must visit if you love walking with family and friends! Such a beautiful recreation park with wildlife and you are sorrounded by australian nature..🦘🦥. Walk along the Quarry walk road or choose your own track: stunning views and tranquillity and keep an eye out for Kangaroos/Koalas as they live here.
I started at Gate1 and there was toilets which are well kept. On your way out of the Park have lunch at The Gully Bistro or head down to St Peters Bakery.

I'm always a fan of a walk at Anstey Hill, with many trails of various difficulties and lengths on offer. Lots of wildlife around in the evening, great spot to see some kangaroos. Just don't get locked in the car park!

You can't go wrong with a hike at ansteys hill. There are a range of different hikes you can choose from, but they are all good.

Only about 17km from the CBD, this is the place to walk or cycle on different terrains and slopes.
From the top of the windy and shady hill, you can see a breathtaking panoramic view of the city. Watching the sunset from the top of the hill is well worth the distance. That's when the kangaroos appear at the foot of the hill as well. And if you're lucky, you may even see some cute koalas along the way.
Highly recommended.

Besides the flys lovely little walk around interesting to be their when people still worked In those buildings

Where to start? I love this place, it's where I go to remove the stress from life. Perfect for all fitness levels, take a casual stroll or go up the big hills, which ever you prefer you won't be disappointed.

Enjoy a sunset view.

Anstey Hill is an absolute delight! It has so many different trails for a variety of fitness levels, so there is something for everyone. There is so much wildlife along the track and it feels like you’re truely in nature and away from the suburbs. If you can make it up to the higher vantage points, there are some stunning views

Went on a hike last Monday, my second time on this trail. The weather was perfect, and the views were stunning. Saw some wild kangaroos too! There were a good number of other hikers, some with kids and dogs. This is an easy trek with just a short steep climb midway. Except of course if you take Torture Hill which I have not yet dared to do. There are also some ruins you can look at. Did not notice any public toilets.

Great park. Lots of flora and fauna. Great MTB trails as well.

Easy walks are close to the quarry and from gate 6 to Newman's old nursery and back. The rest of the tracks, there are many of them, have some steep sections. Great views and a variety of wildlife and wildflowers are the rewards.

Great hiking trails just outside the Adelaide CBD on the edge of the Adelaide Hills

Wildside DH is an amazing trail for the more experienced mountain biker (and it's hardtail freindly). If you have good technique and strong nerves you can get real fast on this trail. Also love the native plants surrounding the trail. There are other trails more suited to beginners, but the downhill trails are by far the most fun.

Nice hiking trail where you can take your dogs. Has different treks with pretty good directions along the way. Normally we take the yellow tail hike is relatively easy and roughly 6kms.

Fantastic place for a hike. Pick your route, short, long and anything inbetween. There's one thing that I can guarantee though, you'll get a work out. It's all up. But the views are worth it. There's old ruins, kangaroos, koalas and lots of interesting fauna. Anstey is also a good place to bring your mountain bike if that tickles your fancy.

Great easily accessible park with relatively easy trails. Some serious uphill sections if you look for it but overall nothing with heaps of elevation. Great wide tracks for runners with a few smaller single tracks for those seeking adventure. Plenty of kangaroos, occasional echidnas and birdlife. Dogs welcome.

There is a large collection of various tracks to suit varying abilities and distances (not all in involve steep gradients!), that can be accessed from a multitude of gates in the lower areas. The park itself is great, plenty of kangaroos, koalas, native birds and wrens, and lovely fresh bush fragrances from the gum trees. Highly recommend a visit whether you’re coming to get/stay fit or just for leisure and the scenery!

Awesome trekking with a lot of birdlife and roos. The kangaroos have become accustomed to human activity and don't just skip away at first sight. It's easy to get a photograph of them. Depending on where you start, parking should be mostly available. It's quite a nice walk for any level, as there's different tracks.

Fantastic place to go on a hike. Many trails to choose from some are easy and some are moderate hiking trails with steep climbs.

I love this place, a great variety of trails to wander and run, from simple trails through to technical ones. Awesome array of wildlife, the bike tracks and the recent development of the place are welcome.
