What a great adventure! Blackwood Forest Recreation Park is a fantastic suburban park located in Hawthorndene, just 12 kms from the Adelaide CBD The most striking feature of this park is the huge pine forest that is a great place for kids to explore. Lots of little cubbies and huts throughout to climb in and on, swings, creek, blackberries, mud and trees to climb too! Surprises around every corner. It's a popular spot for walking, jogging, horse riding, bike riding and off leash dogs so you'll need to share the space with others. There are quite a few nearby cafes and bakeries if you want to stop and get a cuppa or snack on the way and be aware there are no toilets so make sure you take care of business before you arrive.

Shepherds Hill Recreation Park Bike Tracks have a great variety of tracks to suits a range of abilities. We took the kids there recently and they loved the beginner bike park, BMX track and pump track as well as the off road trails through the hills. The Bowl area is just off the Ayliffe's Road carpark and houses the beginner (very small) and intermediate pump tracks with a range of jumps and tracks to suit riders from very new to pretty good. Out smaller kids love the bigger jumps, which they can handle ok but they do enjoy seeing the older riders get some great air from them when they are riding too. One of the things we love most about this park is that it has a really good beginners bike park/jump track where learning riders can stretch their legs into something more adventurous all while on a pretty flat track, with softfall edges all around. The pic above and below are both from this kids area track and are a big hit in our family. The views are also wonderful, with some views all the way to Adelaide CBD and the coast so don't forget to stop…
