Ideal environment for families with children. Has the advantage of a fenced enclosure surrounding the facility, thus ensuring the safety of children. Has play facilities for children, with grassed areas and convenience facilities. Parking space availability opposite the park and on the adjacent street.

  • Shah Haque

Nice place with bbq facilities and play area. This place (Old Gum Tree Reserve) is a historic site in South Australia. Near this tree on 28 December 1836, the British governor John Hindmarsh delivered the proclamation announcing the establishment of Government of the colony of South Australia.

  • Kim Vilaca

The zip line "swing" was popular and fun, but it needs to have some sort of boundary put up to stop little kids running across. I witnessed a kid get hit quite hard, falling down, and friends witnessed a more serious hit to the head. Facility is lovely though and the kids loved the playground.

  • Bennett Maynard-brown

Lovely local park for families or singles to visit for a walk or to read. I've lived local to here my whole life and recently have started using this park for my daily walks and sometimes sit under a tree and play games on my phone. Very clean and safe as well. Will add photos next visit.

ON DECEMBER 28, 1836, A sweltering day with temperatures reaching above 100 degrees Fahrenheit, a group of about 200 settlers and some of the local Kaurna population gathered near a uniquely arched gum tree to hear the proclamation

  • Denison Tarsitano

Great reserve for families with kids. Very well structured, with lots of areas for kids to play, to do picnic, a public toilet and barbecue area. It is also fenced, so you can rest assured that your kid won't leave the park area.

  • Merrowyn Deacon

Great place for a family picnic, but the loo by the entrance needs better instruction manual in its use. If you put down your handbag on the only level surface, you get automatically squinted with water... it is the washbasin!!!
