(corner of Waterport Road and Adelaide-Victor Harbor Rd) It's a beautiful place for a walk with many varieties of native plants, trees and flowers as well as over 60 species of birds including a large population of Blue Wrens. You might even spot a few lizards, insects and even an echidna or two! There are nesting boxes among the trees and a bird hide in the centre of the reserve which is wheelchair accessible and has multi-level viewing ports for bird watching and photos. The area is accessed by well-defined winding pathways through the plantings, which are very easily walked. The main paths are wheelchair friendly and the scented garden area has paved pathways.There are seats dotted around the place as well as a gazebo for a picnic lunch and onsite, accessible toilet.

First thing you notice when you pull up to this reserve is the brightly coloured modern play equipment along with the huge grassed area. Whilst the play equipment isn’t huge it has been well thought out to cater for a few different ages. The toddlers and smaller children can enjoy the swings which include a baby swing, slippery dip, bouncy ladybird and small climbing wall. The bigger kids can use the giant climbing spider web that sits a little away from the the play equipment or even enjoy a game of noughts and crosses which can be found on the play equipment. Once everyone has had enough of the equipment there is plenty of grassed area to run around on, kick balls or just enjoy a family picnic . There is also a tennis court as part of the Golflands reserve. Whilst the area near the play equipment has a fence the entire reserve isn’t totally fenced off. Unfortunately there is no shade over the play equipment but several trees you could utilise to sit under for shade if you stopped for a picnic or BBQ . In need of a coffee .. closest would be Mc Café on…

Billabong Reserve playground in Para Hills is set in a homely, quiet neighbourhood and is surrounded with a lot of trees and vegetation which partially block it from the road (although it's not fully fenced in). The Billabong Reserve playground was new in 2018 and has many different parts to keep the whole family entertained. There is a climbing frame with a couple of small slides and monkey bars. Nearby there are also 3 different swings, listening horns and even a see-saw ride that an adult could sit on with their child. There's also a transparent clock for children to explore. For families who enjoy wide open space to kick a ball, there is also a soccer field with goals at each end. Kids in Adelaide love the idea of these little community libraries, where you're encouraged to 'Give-a-book, Take-a-book' so remember to bring one along when you visit Billabong Reserve in Para Hills. With lots of seating, it's the perfect place for a picnic with the family. There are no toilets or cooking facilities. Find Billabong Reserve on the corner of Billabong Road and Manooka St, Para Hills. [wpgmza id="138" cat="1" marker="575" zoom="16"]
