Hike summary

A loop walk through the Lynton Reserve and Sleeps Hill Reserve walking trails. The park has many trails, developed in 2010, for walkers only, mountain bikers only, and shared trails for commuter cyclists, mountain bikers, walkers and horse riders.

This hike is a suggested route combining several trail segments, including the Mead Street Walking Trail and Sleeps Hill Walking Trail. Whilst there are many trails, the park is small, so the trails connect in a way to give walkers many options for an excellent circuit hike.

The park borders the Adelaide Plains and Belair, providing for some good climbs, city views, and walking through intact Grey Box grassy woodlands. The area comprises twelve old small quarry sites.

Let someone know before you go

It’s a good idea to let someone know where you’re going. Fill in a trip intention form to send important details about your trip to your emergency contact. If you are lost or require help and have phone reception, call 000 and ask for police. The international standard emergency number is 112, if you dial this number in Australia you will be treated exactly the same as a 000 call. If you believe your life is at risk, activate your personal locator beacon (PLB), then make your position visible to rescue teams and keep warm and dry.
